Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
And maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
And give me
Give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
I'll keep you satisfied
[Instrumental Interlude]
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

May 17, 2024. Chris is one of the greatest country music stars we have left. He is amazing..True country music is so refreshing.

[@barrettcisler]

No offense to any of the artists who Chris has covered and obviously this is a personal opinion. But every time I remember a song and then I hear Chris cover it, it's like oh yeah that's what it's supposed to sound like. He sings to the anthem of the artist and never tries out doing them even though he completely could it's so respectful and so awesome to watch him sing. Once in a lifetime voice and artist.

[@stefeuh]

I agree, he's already a legend.

[@MrNater41]

Can't argue with that at all

[@MC-hs4mf]

Willie Nelson did this song

[@popeofwrenching4357]

I’m a fan of Chris , but he’s no Willie Nelson

[@mattproffitt2208]

He’s also no elvis.

[@tonymonk1965]

One of the first dances I had with my first girlfriend Lisa in 1984 with Willie Nelson singing it, she was 17 and I was 18.. but Chris does an amazing job and it still brings a tear to my eye, only because I had no idea my girlfriend would end up pregnant a year later with our baby girl that she ended up giving to adoption after I already left.. Her grandmother who adopted Lisa wanted her to have an abortion I found out later on... I never knew any of this because we had a fall out in 1985 and I ended up moving away 4000 miles and cut off all communication with her. Today my daughter and I are in communication and she is beautiful and I have been blessed with 7 grandchildren... We found each other on facebook 3 years ago... I know... It's stuff only movies are made of... I was a pride driven egotistic delinquent at that age because I didn't know any better and that took a tolle on Lisa eventually and our relationship.. She was seeing someone else in 1985 behind my back and I never forgave her for it, but it wasn't her fault because I decided to hang out with no good friends and ignored her 98% of the time. I left to come out west with one of these friends who I haven't seen now for almost 40 years... I love this song because it always takes me back to that innocent moment we both held on to each other and danced to it... It wasn't easy after I left because I went on a drunken stupor and took drugs for 20 years because I was extremely depressed and suicidal 3 times in those days... I have been sober now for 19 years and extremely happy and healthy. Lisa and I haven't seen each other for 40 years.

[@marlenelyles]

I agree. He is fantastic. ❤❤

[@tommyrq180]

More amazing is that for a long time as a performer, he didn’t think he could sing. Same with Stevie Ray Vaughan (SRV). It took Chris’ wife and Stevie’s female vocalist to persuade them to sing. And we win. 😊

[@countrymusiccollections]

I don't know how it's even possible, but country music can make me kinda nostalgic for a world I've never been and never seen. It calms down and gives a feeling of infinity of time as if our life is not so short at all. It gives me meaning and desire to keep living through this difficult time

[@mikeh.753]

[@bradhuskers]

Elvis's version is pure sublime

[@liberty9348]

I'm a disabled Veteran. I have severe PTSD and through over a decade of mental health counseling, I am aware that I show very little emotion towards anything. Spending nearly four years in combat seeing, doing, being around, living the most horrible things humans are capable of, has shattered my emotional response to nearly everything. When I realize my wife of 16 years is lonely, upset, no happy, etc., I will play this song and give her a big hug and kiss and hold her. She's an amazing woman that has incredibly stuck by me all these years as I struggle to feel normal and fit in. Honestly I don't think many woman would have stayed with me and I am very lucky to have her in my life. She understands me and what I'm going through and somehow has the fortitude and love to keep making me happy. She also knows I love her and our two children more than life itself and this song help me express that to her. A legendary song. Chris and the band do an amazing job here. One of the best covers of this song I've ever heard. On that note, there is another cover that brings a lot of emotion to the song that my wife loves. It's by Connie Talbot. If you've never heard it, give it a listen. It's wonderful. Thanks to Elvis, Willie, Chris, Connie, and the many other musicians out there that keep this song alive and full of life. It means a lot to me.

He's good. But lacks the diversity of elvis. Elvis's chameleon voice changed multiple times in his very short life. Screaming 1950's. Rock n roll. Late 60's soul. Early 60's otherworldly tone and power. Smooth 70's sound. Country, gospel, rhythm and blues, rockabilly, rock n roll, etc........Elvis's soul, depth and diversity remain unmatched.

[@drummerman1964]

@@bradhuskers Why compare different artists with different voices ? I never understood this comparing-thing. Stapleton is out now since 2015 ( album TRAVELLER )...so wait what will come. As you wrote, Elvis was in the 50ies, 60ies and 70ies...give Stapleton the same time. Anyway, I am thankful for all those great artists we have, it is all a matter of taste.

[@kelleyspartiatis4776]
