Words and Music by Perry Mathers
You’re the first thing in the morning
And the last thing in the evening that is on my mind
And since the day you left
There’s been an emptiness inside me I can’t satisfy
And as the lonesome days grow longer
You’re still with me wherever I go
I’m not asking you to change your mind
I just wanted you to know
The older that I get
The less things in this world I have a passion for
But I’d crawl a mile through broken glass
If I could only see your smile once more
And I’d cross the fires of Hell
’til I stood and faced the devil toe to toe
I’m not asking you to change your mind
I just wanted you to know
Lately I’ve been wondering
Why some things in this life turn out the way they do
Is it just a roll of the dice
Or do our stories all play out the way they’re written to
But girl there is no question
You’re the best thing in this life I’ve ever known
I’m not asking you to change your mind
I just wanted you to know
I’m not asking you to change your mind
I just wanted you to know
If you should ever change your mind…
