D#maj7                                C#maj7
I remember sidewalk laughter down New Orleans, LA
D#maj7                            C#maj7
A hot wet night at the fight with you
       D#maj7
Had to push through the crowds and talk
               C#maj7
Very loud it's true

Chorus:
    D#maj7         Cm
But you were on my mind that day
D#maj7         Cm
You were on my mind each day
D#maj7         Cm                   Fmaj7 G#maj7
You were on my mind that day and forever

Had a drink, stop to think we had a few
Afterwards we went down to the dance side of
town for the view
You went blushing inside and you pinched me to see
If I knew

Chorus:
But you were on my mind that day
You were on my mind each day
You were on my mind that day and forever,
and forever

We were lovers then and forever
There was nothing that we couldn't do
A hot wet night at the fight with you
Times like that weekend remain in my heart
crystal clear
Walking along to the song you have helped
me to hear

Chorus:
Yes you were on my mind that day
You were on my mind each day
You were on my mind that day and forever,
and forever
