I think about you and forget what I've tried to be Everything is foggy and hard to see It seems to be, but can it be, a fantasy? Whenever I think about you, strangers eyes in the crowd flash past I go on and think of the fate you've cast It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me 'Cause whenever you're on my mind Whenever you're on my mind I leave the world behind Whenever you're on my mind I think about you and I'm weak though I'm in my prime Set my watch and still lose track of time It seems to be, but can it be, a fantasy? Whenever I think about you, strangers eyes in the crowd flash past I go on and think of the fate you've cast It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me 'Cause whenever you're on my mind Whenever you're on my mind I leave the world behind Whenever you're on my mind I never thought I'd be in this situation It seems wherever I go I'm with you And though I never seem to find my place At every turn I see your face. Whenever I think about you, strangers eyes in the crowd flash past I go on and think of the fate you've cast It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me 'Cause whenever you're on my mind Whenever you're on my mind I leave the world behind Whenever you're on my mind Whenever you're on my mind I leave the world behind Whenever you're on my mind Whenever you're on my mind I leave the world behind Whenever you're on my mind Whenever you're on my mind I leave the world behind Whenever you're on my mind (fades) Music and lyrics by Marshall Crenshaw and Bill Teeley
