There's a picture of you that I look at
Every time that I close my eyes
You're wearing my old favorite t-shirt
And showing me that loving-me smile
It wasn't no special occasion
It wasn't some remarkable night
There's no good way to explain it
It's just the way that you lay on my mind
When I think about the things I remember
It's the moments we laughed 'til we cried
It's the thousands of times that I've touched you
It's watching you wake up by my side
There's really no rhyme or no reason
And I don't really need to know why
It's just a bunch of every day memories
And the way that you lay on my mind
Like hundreds of pieces of paper
I pick up and read all the time
Daydreams I dream on are scattered
All across the floor of my mind
Well I guess what I'm trying to say is
Everything I've told you tonight
Is really only how much I love you
And how lucky I am that you're mine
So I'll try not to be too poetic
And I won't mention the stars in the sky
I'll just say comfortable, easy, and gentle
That's the way that you lay on my mind
Yea it's so beautiful, easy, and gentle
It's the way that you lay on my mind
