Erik bij zijn laatste optreden, tijdens Herberg Hoorn, 20 december 2015.

Zopas kreeg ik, zij het niet onverwacht, het verdrietige bericht dat ons koorlid Erik niet meer onder ons is.

Vandaag wil ik met het Zingen voor je Leven Koor Hoorn voor hem een lied zingen, dat hij altijd heerlijk vond: “(You were) always on my mind”.

(You were) Always on My Mind

(Thompson, Daniel / Davis, Herman / Morrison, Carlington Dayne / Mcgregor, Kemar / Williams, T.)

Maybe I didn’t treat you quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you quite as often as I should have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind (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,

[boy] I’m sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind (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, give me one more chance To keep you satisfied,  satisfied 

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind (You were always on my mind)
You were always on my mi – nd.
