Thinkin' Bout You Lyrics

Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer

I've been thinkin bout you
Thinkin bout all the things that couldn't come true
I've been thinkin bout you
And how much I'll miss having you to talk to

Now that I'm on my own
I don't need to hold you
But I'd love to
There's beauty in monochrome
I promise not to linger
But somehow lately

I've been thinkin bout you
Thinkin bout all the things we put ourselves through
Incompatibly
Playing out our restless parts so crazy and free

Those nights when we talked til the sun
We had all the answers
We were dancers
Then time caught us both on the run
In our own directions
Headed for the moon

I know you
And I know that you think of me too
All is well
Honey but I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout you

I've been thinkin bout you
How you said you'd never change and hoping it's true
In your impetuous way
You brought out the kind of fire still with me today

When you told me you had to go
Off to chase the rainbow
Oh it hurt me so
The pain didn't kill me though
I will always be here
The soul outlives the heart

There was a time when our lives were a tangle
Between our hands a Jacob's ladder
Nothing mattered
Indelible and dear
