Ray Charles - I Thought About You Lyrics






I took a trip on a train, and I thought about you.
I passed a shadowy lane, and I thought about you.
Two or three cars parked under the stars, a windin' stream.
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream.
And every stop that we made, oh I thought about you.
And when I pulled down the shade, then I really felt blue.
I peaked through the crack and looked at the track,
The one goin' back to you, and what did I do?
I thought about you.

[Musical Interlude]

There were two or three cars parked under the stars, a windin' stream.
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, the same old dream.

[Musical Interlude]

And then I peaked through the crack and I looked at that track,
The one goin' back to you, and what did I do?
I thought about you.

    Simply Amazing...

    I told my god son who's a DJ, that this song has to be played for my wife at my funeral. P.S. the only song I ever sang at karaoke to my wife. I love in a place where there's no space and time.

  3. T.... V....

    I'll always love brother Leon, but if anybody can come close to doing his song justice it's Mr. Ray Charles. I sang this to my daughter when she was little and she'd always giggle, thanks Leon.

  10. J.... S....

    Savant! The man's talent is second to none.

  11. G.... a....

    The lyrics, "I love you in a place where there is no space or time" Best ever written IMHO to describe the emotion we call love.

  12. R.... A....

    Thank You Ray..

  18. D.... B....

    What scale is he playing during that initial descending part, anyone know? Sounds almost diminished.

  19. J.... H....

    When you watch him in person and if you know music and see how he arranges the music he plays with the Orchestra Then you will see why they called him A GENIUS!!!!!!!!

  20. P.... E....

    Sweet Lord. Genius Okie Leon's tune by this sweet Georgian musical God.

    “I spent my life in stages with 10k ppl watching me”🙏🏽When Ray puts his hands on his cheeks, it shows how pure and soulful he is. It brings me to tears. His voice just says it all for this song. I truly believe he is singing this song for me. Thank you Ray Charles for inspiring me as a musician and to never stop performing

  27. R.... M....

    I've been so many places in my life and time
    I've sung a lot of songs
    I've made some bad rhymes
    I've acted out my life in stages
    With ten thousand people watching
    But we're alone now
    And I'm singing this song to you
    I know your image of me is what I hoped to be
    I treated you unkindly
    But darling can't you see
    There's no one more important to me
    Baby can't you see through me?
    'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
    You taught me precious secrets
    Of a true love
    You wanted nothing
    You came out in front
    When I was hiding
    But now I'm so much better
    And if my words don't come together
    Listen to the melody
    'Cause my love is in there hiding
    I love you in a place
    Where there's no space or time
    I love you for my life
    You're a friend of mine
    And when my life is over
    Remember when we were together
    We were alone
    And I was singing this song to you
    I love you in a place
    Where there's no space or time
    I love you for my life
    You're a friend of mine
    And when my life is over
    Remember when we were together
    We were alone and I was singing this song to you
    We were alone
    And I was singing this song to you
    We were alone and I was singing this song
    Singing this song to you

  53. R.... D....

    Wish i could have seen him perform! Ray was the best

  54. L.... L....

    I truly love the late great Ray Charles, but as for me, without prejudice or disrespect, the late great Leon Russell performed this song best. I miss them both & may they both rest in peace in heaven together. Slowly but surely, the great artists I’ve loved are fading away.

  72. K.... J....

    yreah ray shine sun ray on me

  73. G.... F....

    This man, gets me every time...

  74. a.... l....

    Es una pena que con una interpretación increíble del maestro Ray Charles, el fondo musical de la orquesta sea una auténtica Mierd!!, y estropean el feeling de esta canción ..

  75. L.... S....

    Andy Williams nearly made me cry, Karen Carpenter did it well but I didn't' cry, Ray Charles was a bit slow for my taste but still amazing, In my mind I say it goes 
    1. Leon Russell 
    2. Andy Williams
    3. Ray Charles
    4. The Temptations
    5. Donna Summer
    6. Peggy Lee
    7. Natalie Cole
    8. Donny Hathaway
    9. Aretha Franklin
    10. Willie Nelson

    L.... S....

    Besides the Karen Carpenter comment(which was unnecessary) I know you couldn't possibly have put Donny Hathaway at #8, like that had to be a mistake right?

    L.... S....

    Leon is miles ahead of the rest, especially the live Homewood sessions version.His voice was so distinctive and as an absolutely peerless musician he always kept the music driving forward. Many versions of this beautiful song are just so slowed up as to be mush. Leon always moved his songs along.

  76. T.... A....

    I love you Ashlynn ❤️

    T.... A....

    You are the best

  77. t.... l....

    I love this song. The first time I heard it play it was Donny Hathaway. Omg! So beautiful

  78. M.... S....

    ❤️❤️❤️👏🏽👏🏽

  79. R.... C....

    You can dislike this song and that is Ok because this song means something to the individuals that love it ,that represents a special moment in their lives that they choose to cherish.And a dislike cannot diminish that .

  86. J.... C....

    So GREAT !😞
    RIP the genius

  87. t.... s....

    Ray done a great job of Leon's song, but i'm surprised no one mentioned Karen Carpenter, she made this song her own...

    t.... s....

    Donny Hathaway is the 1st guy

  88. M.... T....

    Quelle passion dans sa voix!!!

  89. E.... H....

    Did you ever here Ray Charles talk about him being a son of a slave or how hard Life treated him?...Me neither.

    E.... H....
