Thinking of You
Safire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I sit looking out the window
I can still remember
They call me to tell me
You went away
It was such a cold day

On a Sunday morning
It came without a warning
And all the pain I felt inside
I just can't forget you
I'm feeling so alone
Though many times I've tried
Can't get you off my mind

I'm thinking of you
Wonder where you are tonight
I wish that I could hold you tight
I'm thinking of you
I wish you could stay
But you're so far away
So far away

And even though you're gone
I know you're happy
Where you are
And I know someday
We'll be together
Together again

On a Sunday morning
It came without a warning
And all the pain I felt inside
I just can't forget you
I'm feeling so alone
Though many times I've tried
I can't get you off my mind

I'm thinking of you
Wonder where you are tonight
I wish that I could hold you tight
I'm thinking of you
I wish you could stay
But you're so far away
So far away

I know someday
I'll hold you again
You and me together again
But until that day
I'm thinking of you

I'm thinking of you
Wonder where you are tonight
I wish that I could hold you tight
I'm thinking of you
I wish you could stay
But you're so far away

I'm thinking of you
Wonder where you are tonight
I wish that I could hold you tight
I'm thinking of you
I wish you could stay




But you're so far away
So far away

This is one of those songs that you had to be alive at the time. The youth of today may know the songs that still play regularly, but they miss the hidden gems like this.

Today is 35 years since my mom passed. I’ll never forget sitting in the car hearing this song on the way to her funeral and balling 😢. I miss her everyday. But I know we will be together again ❤️.

ME TOO I CRY FOR MY MOMMA EVERY DAY 💔

@VickysStuff

Don't laugh, but this song came out when I was about 12 years old, and my cat had just died. I used to listen to this song over and over and just cry my eyes out. Memories!
