Simple Lyrics

/in /by

While I was getting together a version of “Heard it through the grapevine” I was pondering the simplicity of simple lyrics.  That led me to thinking about my own songs and what might be the modern day equivalent of the old school simple soul tune.


That song would have to be “You’re on my Mind,” definitely the simplest thing I’ve ever written.

You’re on my mind


You’re on my mind and I don’t want to let you go


You’re on my mind


You’re on my mind and I won’t stop until you know that I love you so

You say that your love for me comes and goes away


Sometimes our love hurts you so when you’re so far away from me
