I haven't wished it to be true for quite some time I often sleep without waking in the night But occasionally, you cross my mind Sing hallelujah in the morning when I rise And keep it with me every moment passing by Then occasionally, you cross my mind Like a snake, you wait In tall grass and vine, you hide away your face Out of reach, your vision comes to me And suddenly, you'll cross my mind So go away, back to where you came from Tell me, why today? I can't erase where it all begins That moment when you cross my mind So I'll be free of you for more than a little while Draw back the curtains and I'll welcome in the light I'll carry on day after day Go on believing I am doing fine Then suddenly, you'll cross my mind Occasionally, you cross my mind
