The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind)

Lately babe, I've been thinkin'

How good it was when you were here

And it ain't the wine that I've been drinkin'

For once I feel my head is clear

But early this mornin' when I opened my eyes

That old lonesome feelin' took me by surprise

I guess, you meant more than I realized

The love we had stays on my mind

The love we had stays on my mind

And pretty girl, I've been rememberin'

The good times that we used to share

My thoughts of you don't have an endin'

And memories of you are everywhere

But why should I tell you? It's not your concern

You win some, you lose some, I've lost and I've learned

It's just that I'm so lonely with no place to turn

And here at the end I'll find

The love we had stays on my mind

Girl, if you were nearer, if you had a mirror

Maybe you could count my tears

And if you were nearer, it would all be clearer

How I wish that you were here

How I wish that you were here

How I wish that you were here

And baby girl, I was tired

So I lay down to dream a while

And lately I've been so uninspired

Without the comfort of your smile

But I'm not complaining 'cause that's how it goes

There's always some heartaches in this world I suppose

But you can't imagine, nobody knows

The love we had stays on my mind

The love we had stays on my mind

The love we had stays on my mind
