Always On My Mind

Always on My Mind was penned by Wayne Carson, Johnny Christopher, and Mark James. It was first recorded by Gwen McCrae (as You Were Always on My Mind) and Brenda Lee in 1972. Elvis Presley released a version of it in the same year, which became one of the most renowned renditions. Willie Nelsons 1982 recording of the song received several awards, including the Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. The song deals with feelings of remorse ... and redemption, expressing sorrow for not having given the partner the love and attention they deserved. See more [+]

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
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
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
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
But 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
I'll keep you satisfied

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