“I Thought About You” is a 1939 popular song composed by Jimmy Van Heusen with lyrics by Johnny Mercer… The lyrics were inspired by Mercer’s train trip to Chicago. Mercer has said about the song:
“I can remember the afternoon that we wrote it. He [Van Heusen] played me the melody. I didn’t have any...
I took a trip on a train
And I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane
And I thought about you
Two or three cars parked under the stars
A winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream
And every stop that we made
Oh, I thought about you
But when I pulled down the shade
Then I really got blue
I peeked through the crack, looked at the track
The one going back to you
And what did I do?
I thought about you
I Thought About You was written by Jimmy Van Heusen & Johnny Mercer.
