היום לפני 29 שנה (21.05.1987): פט שופ בויז מקליטים את "Always On My Mind".
השיר הזה בוצע מאות פעמים מאז שנכתב בשנת 1972, בין השאר על ידי ווילי נלסון ואלביס, אך זו הגרסה שהצליחה להפוך אותו ללהיט. למרות שבמקור הוא נכתב לזמרת הקאנטרי ברנדה לי, בגרסא הזו אנחנו זוכים לשמוע התנצלות כנה ומרגשת מגבר על כך שפשוט לא השקיע מספיק זמן ויחס בזוגתו, ומבטיח לה שעם זאת, הוא תמיד חושב עליה. לרגל עשור למותו של אלביס פרסלי, התבקשו הצמד לחדש את אחד מלהיטיו לתוכנית טלוויזיה. הם בחרו לחדש את Always On My Mind שהגיע למקום הראשון והפך לאחד הסינגלים הנמכרים ביותר בכל הזמנים.
Maybe I didn't treat you
quite as good as I should
maybe I didn't love you
quite as often as I could
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
all those lonely, lonely times
and I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second-best
I'm so sorry, I was blind
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I never took the time
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
You were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
you were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't treat you
quite as good as I should
maybe I didn't love you
quite as often as I could
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
