For my wife's 41st birthday: "You Were Always On My Mind"

On the 41st birthday of my wife, Odette, I offer her one favorite song of mine sang by country great Willie Nelson. Despite the song's relative lyrical simplicity, its honest and heartfelt message has made it an endearing and memorable classic for people across the generations.

Happy birthday, Lovey!

Always on My Mind

by

Willie Nelson

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

You were always on my mind

You were always on my mind

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

And give me

Give me one more chance

To keep you satisfied

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....
