Thinking About You

It's not my nature
To be nostalgic at all
I sat by the phone last night
Waiting for you to call
It's been decades since I spoke to you
I just wanted to say
I've been thinking about you
Did you get my message
I left the other afternoon
Your young girl's voice said
I'll call you back real soon
I bet that's your daughter
She sounded like you used to
I just wanted to say
I've been thinking about you
So long ago
Those summer afternoons
I bet they've torn that playground down
Where I first met you
Don't mean no trouble
Don't want to bother you none
Ain't looking for nothing
Just wondering about you some
If you ain't got time
To return this call
I understand
That you're busy and all
But thanks for the memories
When the world didn't seem so small
I just wanted to say
I've been thinking about you
About you
Thinking about you
