You Don’t Run Across My Mind

Maybe I’m a passing thought
When the wood smoke’s in the air
Maybe I’m a summer breeze
In the July weather fair

You don’t run across my mind
You’re in there all the time
You don’t travel through my heart
You are not a moving part
You’re here and here you’ll stay
And though you’re far away
Years and years and still I find
You don’t run across my mind

Maybe I’m a coat you wore
Through some winter long ago
Worn so close but left behind
When the spring replaced the snow

You don’t run across my mind
You’re in there all the time
You don’t travel through my heart
You are not a moving part
You’re here and here you’ll stay
And though you’re far away
Years and years and still I find
You don’t run across my mind

Maybe when you think of me
In some fleeting now and then
Know that you are dear to me
And that my love knows no end

You don’t run across my mind
You’re in there all the time
You don’t travel through my heart
You are not a moving part
You’re here and here you’ll stay
And though you’re far away
Years and years and still I find
You don’t run across my mind
