"And I think of you" (E Penso a te) is the title of a Italian song composed in 1970 by Lucio Battisti lyrics by Mogol, two famous italian songwriter. Initially published in the interpretation of Bruno Lauzi , was seized upon by many other artists. The text tells the nostalgic thinking toward a woman does not exist, playing on the contrast between the memory of an event ended without result and the thought of what she might be doing at that moment. The music and the singing, highlights the hesitation of the protagonist in the presence of the woman (the initial plan) and the explosion of the feeling of nostalgia in his absence (crescendo).

Il testo della canzone nacque in 19 minuti durante un viaggio in automobile sull'autostrada Milano-Como in cui Mogol compose il testo pressoché improvvisando mentre Lucio Battisti (secondo alcune versioni, mentre era alla guida .
