Back Of My Mind Lyrics - The Cafe Carlyle Sessions - Christopher Cross

I woke up to my world this morning 

Took a long look in the looking glass 

Last night I guess I had one or too many 

Somebody tried to tell me I had no class 

What ever happened to me 

Maybe I've been living on lies 

Never really had a dream come true 

Then again I guess I never really tried 

Now the years all slip away 

And things are like they're gonna stay 

All the roads I didn't take are just 

One more thing in the back of my mind 

Taking space and time

Wish I'd finished that book I never started 

Maybe that's the story of my life 

Should've learned to play that saxophone 

So I could tell my song to the streetlight 

Shouldn't have been so stuck on my own 

Could've had a wife and a child 

Should've made that house a home 

I don't know why my life is so wild 

Now the years all slip away 

And things are like they're gonna stay 

All the chances I didn't take are just 

One more thing in the back of my mind 

Taking space and time 

One more thing in the back of my mind

So I'm thinking about a walk in the sunlight 

I've got to get my shadow behind me 

Try and make some sense of it all 

With my feet on the ground and my heart still free 

As the years will slip away 

I'll let the cards fall where they may 

And all the roads I didn't take will be just 

One more thing in the back of my mind 

As the years will slip away 

And the cards fall as they may 

All the chances I didn't take will be just 

One more thing in the back of my mind 

Taking space and time 

One more thing in the back of my mind 

One more thing in the back of my mind
