Lyrics James Taylor

James Taylor

Places in My Past

There are ladies in my life

Lovely ladies in these lazy days

And though I never took a wife

May I say that I have loved me one or two

Of the people in my past

Fading faces in a waking dream

And though they never seemed to last very long

There are faces I remember

From the places in my past

I said all the dead head miles

And the insincere smiles

Sometimes I can laugh and cry

And I can't remember why

But I still love those

Good times gone by

Hold on to them close or let them go, oh no

I don't know

I just seem to sing these songs

And say I'm sorry for the friends I used to know
