"If You Could Read My Mind" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. It Was his first recording to appear on the American music charts, reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in February 1971.
This song first appeared on Lightfoot's 1970 album Sit Down Young Stranger, which was later renamed If You Could Read My Mind following the song's success.
Lightfoot has cited his divorce for inspiring the lyrics,saying they came to him as he was sitting in a vacant Toronto house one summer. At the request of his daughter, Ingrid.
He has said in an interview that the difficulty with writing songs inspired by personal stories is that there is not always the emotional distance and clarity to make lyrical improvements such as the one his daughter suggested.
