Keep You on My Mind

The smell of coffee and scrambled eggs and a voice that calls my name
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
My out of tune piano plays as you sing an old refrain
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind

Cause I remember loving you like it was only yesterday
Holding on to you when you did not have the words to say
Baby I don’t know whats wrong here
And it burns me up inside
But it don’t take much to keep you on my mind

Wrapped in blankets it’s cold outside a fire’s burning bright
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
The scent of an old red flannely shirt that keeps me warm at night
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind

I wish I could apoligize but I don’t know what I‘ve done wrong
and if you can’t tell me know
What’s the lesson in it all oh baby
Baby I havent got a clue here
I only tried to do you right
But it don’t take much to keep you on my mind

For a moment in this darkness
I might wait for you
But when the sun comes I will wake up
Finally waking up

The sun rose high and full behind where the day turns into night
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind
A final toast above he coast where the day turns into night
It don’t take much to keep you on my mind

It was there I let go of you and the shadows stole away
Fire smoldering and in it’s dying embers I’d hear you say
Baby I don’t belong here I stayed way beyond our time
But it don’t take much to keep you on my mind
