Song Description
Moody reflection of the singer's realization that the relationship, even though it didn't get to where it should have gone, is over and won't be resurrected.
This country soul song mixes blues, country and adult contemporary, using strong melodies with atypical meters to tell the story of a lover pretending not to love. Two versions.

Lyrics
THINKIN' BLUES (THINKING ABOUT YOU)
Music & Lyrics by Denise Dimin/Reel2Real Songs
denisedimin.com
I'm sittin' here, thinkin' 'bout you.
Lord, the things I have to do.
To convince myself I don't love you.
To put myself above you.
But it's no good.
Tho' my mind is in control,
My heart is rarin' to go.
I know you didn't have time to care.
And when you left, you left unaware.
Of the heart that you left broken.
Of the words you left unspoken.
All the dreams that weren't promised.
All the times, you wouldn't let me give my love.
So I face the fact of being alone.
And I play my voice in a cheery tone.
And expand on my fantasies.
And gold-plate a forgotten key
That locked and sealed a door
That probably won't be used anymore.
