Lizard Head Peak on Lizard Head Pass, South Of Telluride, Colorado

MAYBE I DIDN'T LOVE YOU

QUITE AS OFTEN AS I COULD HAVE.

AND MAYBE I DIDN'T TREAT YOU

QUITE AS GOOD AS I SHOULD HAVE.

IF I MADE YOU FEEL SECOND BEST,

GIRL, I'M SORRY I WAS BLIND.

YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND,

YOU WERE ALWAYS ON MY MIND.

AND 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.

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.

TELL ME,

TELL ME THAT YOUR SWEET LOVE HASN'T DIED.

GIVE ME,

GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANGE TO KEEP YOU SATISFIED.

I'LL KEEP YOU 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.
