Discover the story of the song > Gentle on My Mind – Robert Ellis

The protagonist is expressing his love and appreciation for his partner, saying that it's the fact that she always makes him feel welcome and at ease that keeps her on his mind. He says that it's not material possessions or what others say about them that define their relationship, but rather the sense of freedom and comfort he feels when he thinks about her. Even when they are physically apart, he still feels her presence in his memories and imagines her walking beside him in his thoughts.
