Can't Think

Johnny Eugene Reece jr 1966 (Lawton ok.)

I can't think of anything to say,
 I can't think because I'm missing you everyday
 I can't think because I need you
 I can't think because I know you're thinking of him
 I can't think, I do not know what to do
 I can't think my emotions have left me
 I can't think this stuff has my mind fried
 I can't think because every night I cry
 I can't think because when I do, I think of you
 I can't think of being so happy
 I can't think of being so sad
 I can't think because I still love you
 I can't think because the feelings are not the same
 I can't think because the love is too strong
 I can't think because when I do, I think of all the things that have gone wrong
 I can't think because you're gone
 I can't think
