John Kay - That's When I Think of You lyrics

rate me

Words and music by John Kay

I often lie awake at night

And gaze into the sky

I watch the stars move in their flight

And every time I wonder

At the beauty of the view

And when it's magic touches me

That's when I think of you

At times I lie down by the sea

And dream away the day

I hear the laughter of the free

That stroll along the bay

Their arms around each other

Their faces all aglow

Ah, when I see that kind of love

That's when I think of you

Lately I've been wondering about my fellow man

Seems he only want's to know me for his gain

And though I know it's human to take all that you can

Were it not for all your giving, I might never love again

I've tried to find the words

To write my feelings into song

At times I almost got it right

But most just turned out wrong

And this one, it's no different

The words just won't come through

But every time I sing this song

That's when I think of you
