On My Mind

Audio Recordings, Nostalgia, Relationships / August 29, 2025 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
"Could have loved you better – didn't mean to be unkind" Willie Nelson "Always On My Mind" How could it be I love you better now you're gone With a love now country music rich and poetry pure and what was maybe sure as sure No more stumbles in intent or act no more what's made up or fact So with memories cherry-picked I'll spoon the sundae all week long and love you better now you're gone
