David Bowie - Absolute Beginners lyrics

Got a picture of you

I carry in my heart

Close my eyes to see it

When the world gets dark

Got a memory of you

I carry in my soul

I wrap it close around me

When the night gets cold

If you ask me how I'm doing

I'd say "just fine"

But the truth is, baby

If you could read my mind

Chorus:

Not a day goes by

That I don't think of you

After all this time

You're still with me, it's true

Somehow you remain

Locked so deep inside

Baby, oh, baby

Not a day goes by

I still wait for the phone

In the middle of the night

Thinking you might call me

When your dreams don't turn out right

And it still amazes me

That I lie here in the dark

Wishing you were next to me

Your head against my heart

If you ask me how I'm doing

I'd say "just fine"

But the truth is, baby

If you could read my mind

Chorus

Minutes turns to hours

And the hours to days

Since it's been forever

That I felt this way

Chorus

That I don't think of you
