Love To Keep You In My Mind

by Curtis Mayfield

on Roots (1971)

Through loving you I seem to feel a spirit
Deep inside of me
Preciously guiding me
My woman of all women, dear to me

Forever love me
For I need you constantly
And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you, all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
Just love to keep you in my mind

Your face is so mysteriously kind
I bet that love is
Partial to your sign
Somehow I do believe that you are mine
Proving in a natural way
Things that I could never think to say

And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
Just love to keep you in my mind

The magic that you secretly possess
Ooh, I must confess
Must be working at its best
My love for you is one you'll always know
Wherever we may go
You will find that it is so
And still, you hold me close indeed
Helping to keep this love I need
Feels so much, like your touch divine

Drinking and getting high on wine
Wanting to love you all the time
Just love to keep you in my mind
I just love to keep you in my mind
