Do I Ever Cross Your Mind
"Do I Ever Cross Your Mind" is a song by American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton. The song was written by Parton and was first released as a duet with Chet Atkins on his 1976 album, ''The Best of Chet Atkins & Friends''. Parton performed the song live throughout the 1970s, but did not release a solo version until 1982 on ''Heartbreak Express''. Parton's solo version was released as the album's third single in July 1982, a double A-side release with "I Will Always Love You" from '' The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas'' soundtrack. The song did not chart on its own, but did chart as the flip-side of "I Will Always Love You" throughout the single's chart run on the ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs chart.

Think About Love
''Think About Love'' is a 1986 compilation of previously released Dolly Parton tracks, many of which were presented in remixes or alternate takes. RCA Records released the album after Parton had left the label. The project was helmed by Mark Wright, an executive at RCA in Nashville at the time, and it remains unclear to what extent, if any, Parton was involved in the selection of songs or in the remixing process. The album is also unusual in that it only features one Parton original, "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind". Of the eight tracks, only three appear to be unaltered from their original release: "It's Such a Heartache", "Tie Our Love (In a Double Knot)" and "Even a Fool Would Let Go". The other tracks have all been modified in various ways. "Think About Love" differs dramatically from the version on '' Real Love'' with the addition of the lyric "Think about love" before the bridge, a shortened instrumental section, much louder drum overdubs and a punchier mix overall.
