Well Written Songs: Think About You

This is a lesser known Luther Vandross song written around the time of 'Dance With My Father' which is also an amazing song lyrically but I thought I would post this one as most people won't know it.

Think About You
James Porte, Luther Vandross, 2003

So close to paradise
But closer than I should be
It's like I'm along for the ride
It happened unexpectedly
Promised myself that I wouldn't ever love again
But you make me feel something
My mind's always on you

I was standing in the rain (I thought about you)
I was riding on the train (I thought about you)
Feeling high like I seem to do
Every time I think about you
Saw two lovers start to kiss (I thought about you)
Had to hold back the tears (I thought about you)
Other girls no more exist
All because I think about you


Nothing seems to help
I don't even know myself
I'm trying not to think of you
But a heart does what it wants to do
Pass you by, see you smile and I must admit I get
So emotional, I think I'm falling for you

Bought a pillow for my room (I thought about you)
Heard Alicia sing a tune (I thought about you)
It sends my rocket to the moon
Every time I think about you
Right from this heart of mine (I thought about you)
I wanted you every time (I thought about you)
What I feel is so divine
And it's all because I think about you


But I'm constantly reminded
Reminded that you're only someone who I'd like to know
You don't know me, you're my private fantasy
You're with me, constantly in my mind

Had a lovely day today (I thought about you)
Wasn't hard to get through (I thought about you)
Seems to happen easily
Every time I think about you
Took a walk with myself (I thought about you)
Wish it could've been with you (I thought about you)
But every star in the sky came out for me
And it's all because I think about you
