• As I sit looking out the window
  I can still remember
  They called me to tell me you went away
  It was such a cold day
  On a Sunday morning it came without a warning
  And all the pain I felt inside
  Though many times I've tried
  Can't get you off my mind
  
  CHORUS
  I'm thinking of you
  Wonder where you are tonight
  I wish that I could hold you tight
  I'm thinking of you
  I wish you could stay but you're so far away
  
  So Far away
  
  And even though you're gone
  I know you're happy where you are
  And I know someday
  We'll be together again - together again
  
  On a Sunday morning it came without a warning
  And all that pain I felt inside
  
  CHORUS
  
  So far away
  
  I know someday I'll hold you again
  You and me - together again
  But until that day, I'm thinking of you
  
  I'm thinking of you
  Wonder where you are tonight
  I wish that I could hold you tight
  I'm thinking of you
  I wish you could stay but you're so far away repeat 2x

• Jennifer Berden from Grand Blanc,michiganThis song popped into my head when I thought about this woman who passed away on the bowling team and xceptional heroes, thinking of you, Janel
• Jennifer Harris from Grand Blanc, MiI didn't know this was about the death of a loved one.This was a hit when I was in middle school. 8th grade.it was even lip synched for lip sync week.I would love to get that cd of Sa-Fire.
• Eugene from Minneapolis, MnI did not realise it was about the death of a loved one until now. When I first heard this on radio, I was surprised that she recorded a slow song and even used guitars in this ballad because she is a freestyle dance performer. This Spanish Harlem singer is known for huge dance club smash hits such as "Boy, I've Been Told", "Don't Break My Heart", and "Let Me Be The One" (not a remake of either Expose, Nu Shooz, or Five Star). "Thinking Of You" is also one of many ballads by frestyle superstars first big Pop hit. The others were Sweet Sensation's #1 smash "If Dreams Come True", Stevie B "Because I Love You" his only #1 Pop smash, and The Cover Girls "We Can't Go Wrong", their first Pop Top Ten.
