"Remember You"

I recently remembered/re-learned the bass part for the single version of "Remember You."  Last week, I wrote it down (I plan on scanning it and posting it eventually), and while doing so, I realized that it represents the lyrics in this section:
And if I should change my mind
And I do sometimes
You know I do sometimes
I'll come back to you
The bass part there is:


(There's a glissando between the D and B bridging the first and second measures of the second line, but I couldn't indicate that in the program I use to make notation.)

There are a handful of accidentals here, and they musically represent that "chang[ing] my mind."  The first G# (in the third measure) is particularly effective because it's directly underneath "change."

This feature is also present in the soundtrack version, although that's in a different key.  I've already written out the bass part for that version, but since that was one of my first forays into notation and was almost four years ago, it's a bit rough.
