It can happen any moment
Without reason or rhyme
It might be right around the corner
Or it'll come up from behind
A picture that I thought would fade
I still clearly see
When the thought of you
Catches up with me

it can happen on a Sunday drive
The sky above a shade of blue
Headed down some lonesome highway
Then you come into view
Mile after mile goes by
But you're all I see
When the thought of you
Catches up with me

when the thought of you comes to mind
It'll carry me away to a better place and time

it can happen in the dead of night
Any day of the week
Sometimes you'll come find me
When I'm in bed asleep
And I'll have that dream about you
I sure love what I see
When the thought of you
Catches up with me
