I THINK OF YOU
(Music: Frances Lai / Lyrics: Rod McKuen)


Glenn Yarbrough - 1970
Perry Como - 1971

Also recorded by: Rod McKuen; Vera Lynn; Pedro Vargas.





When I'm alone at night
And there's no one to comfort me
I think of you 
And suddenly my pillow
Is your face and your arms

And when the winter wind
Comes chasin' after me
I think of you
And it's as though I crawl
Beneath the blanket soft and warm

How did I get from dark to daylight
Before you happened to pass by
How did I find my way through life
Before you brightened up my sky

Was there a sky at all
Until you painted it for me
How did I get on
Till you came along

Who knows how many times
I pause in every day
To think of you
As often as the sun sails out
Upon the silent sea

And if you're wond'rin why it is
I only think of you
Well, it's because I'd like to be
As close to you
As you've become to me

I think of you
I think of you
