#MusicMonday – You were always on my mind #ElvisPresley #HappybirthdayDad

I am joining with Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek, the man behind this meme and Claire @ A Knight Reads, this week with Music Monday.

Today I had to share this song. Today would have been my Dad’s 70th birthday and what a better way for me to remember him by than by sharing our favourite singer and our song. This song I dedicated to my dad when I was living away at University, it was the first time in 18 years he told me he loved me and he was proud of me and I missed him.

I miss him to this day, but as it says in the song he is always on my mind.

Happy birthday Dad

The Lyrics

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine

If I made you feel second best
Girl I’m so sorry, I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
