As I sail with you across the finest oceans On our way to find the key to our emotions Together we will move the clouds to brighter days Some people question what i say, try to break up you & me But I know this love between us is growing stronger You can call me whenever from wherever just remember that I'll be there through all the stormy weather Us break up never, no, we'll be together forever You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry But I believe so strongly in you & I Can't somebody answer me the question why You don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry As I close my eyes sit back while reminiscing Of when we used to fuss & fight but end up kissing There may be sad & painful times along the way But in my heart you'll always be, everything and more to me For I know this love between us is growing stronger You can call me whenever from wherever just remember that I'll be there through all the stormy weather Us break up never, no, we'll be together forever [Chorus] For you are always on my mind, you are always on my mind Girl you know that you You are always on my mind you're always on my mind You are always forever [Chorus:Repeat x2] If you ever get the feeling You want to play around start cheating Remember you don't miss your water 'til the well runs dry
