Lyrics

VERSE
You were pretty as a picture but somehow incomplete
A portrait not quite painted until we chanced to meet
Now you pretend I never was; must you be unkind?
I’ll love you forever, girl, if only in my mind

VERSE
I saw you the other day; did you see me?
Or did you turn the other way to deny the memory?
I was yours; you were mine; until the end of time
I’ll love you forever, girl, if only in my mind

CHORUS
Only in my mind can I love you all night long
Only in my mind have you loved me all along
Only in my mind can I leave the truth behind
I’ll love you forever, girl, if only in my mind

VERSE
There’s no way you could convince me that he was right for you
Even when I see you and him, I still don’t believe it’s true
And when I think about tomorrow, I may as well be blind
’Cause I’ll love you forever, girl, if only in my mind

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE
There’s a place where I can go to see you any time
It’s never very far away; I just close my eyes

Repeat CHORUS

TAG
I’ll love you forever, girl, if only in my mind
