In the wee small hours of the morning dark
When the robin wakens the dawn
With the mockingbird and the meadowlark
You are on my mind
Oh, you are on my mind
When the fireflies come like a summer dream
And the honeysuckle's in bloom
When the poplar sway in a gentle breeze
Oh, you are on my mind
Yes, you are on my mind
Down the cobblestone to the village square
While the baker sets his dough
I walk our dog in the autumn air
But you are on my mind
Oh, you are on my mind
Safe and sound, safe and sound
Please come home to me
When the arctic wind begins to blow
And the chimney's smoking all night
Then I think of how you love the snow
'Cause you are on my mind
Oh, you are on my mind
When your ship drops anchor at Sterling Bay
And your feet are safely on shore
My yearlong night will break into day
'Till then you are on my mind
Oh, darling, you're on my mind
Safe and sound, safe and sound
Please come home to me
Oh, safe and sound, safe and sound
Please come home to me, home to me
