Well, I may not get applause every night when I sing
And I may not hear the cheers of a crowd
And my voice can't always rise to make the mountains ring
And at times I can't even sing out aloud

But you've got me singing a love song
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time
You've got me singing a love song
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind
Feelin' fine all the time
It keeps you on my mind

Sometimes my voice is strained and the strings won't hold a tune
My back is sore, and I'm just too tired to try
And I don't want to work or rest or think of you
Or face the world or even close my eyes

But you've got me singing a love song
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time; I know that
You've got me singing a love song
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind
Feelin' fine all the time
It keeps you on my mind
My broken dreams, they don't bother me
And hard times in life I don't mind
I think of things that I'd rather see
And you give me piece of mind

Hard times will come and sometimes I won't wanna sing
But I'll sing with all the love that I can find
And I'm happy there to hear me in the silence of my song
I'm gonna sing for you until the end of time

'Cause you've got me singin' a love song
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time
You've got me singing a love song
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind
Feelin' fine all the time
It keeps you on my mind

And it keeps you on my mind
You've got me singin' a love song
And it keeps you on my mind
You've got me singin' a love song....
