Analysis of Thoughts of You

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



My early thoughts of you each day
Pour love into my heart.
They grow with memories and they
Will never ever part!

The afternoon brings thoughts of you.
They ease the stress I feel
When things go wrong as things will do
And bad times seem so real!

The evening comes and I can see
Your face inside my mind,
Where thoughts of you will always be
So beautiful and kind!
