I'd Like to Have That One Back Lyrics


I heard somebody speak her name
They said she was still lookin' fine
An' I could feel that same old flame
I once felt when she was mineAlways thought
That I was missin' somethin'
But I found out much too late
There'll never be another
Who loved me that wayI'd like to have that one back
I've never known someone so true
And a love that pure and sweet
Is one a man should never loseIf my lips had said, "I'm sorry"
She might have stopped right in her tracks
But now I find my poor heart saying
"I'd like to have that one back"I can almost see her standin' there
Tears rollin' down her face
As she packed away her memories
In that old worn out suitcaseIf I'd a' only known then
What I know now

I'd never open that door
Oh they just don't make hearts
Like hers anymoreI'd like to have that one back
I've never known someone so true
And a love so pure and sweet
Is one a man should never loseAnd if my lips had said, "I'm sorry"
She might have stopped right in her tracks
I wouldn't hear my poor heart saying
"I'd like to have that one back"I wouldn't hear my poor heart sayin'
"I'd like to have that one back"

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952 in Pearsall, Texas) is an American country music artist. He is known for his unique style of western swing music, bar-room ballads, honky-tonk style, and fresh yet traditional country western music. George Strait holds the world record for more #1 hit singles than any other artist in the history of music on any chart or in any genre. As of 2010 he has recorded 57 #1 hit singles on the Billboard Country Singles chart.

Strait rocketed to success after his first single "Unwound" gave him his first hit in 1981. While contributing to the neo-traditional movement of the 1980s, he amassed seven number one albums in the decade with his most popular hits including "Fool Hearted Memory" and "Ocean Front Property". By the 1990s, Strait had influenced a new breed of performers while continuing his own successes, having charted upwards of 20 number one hits including "Heartland" and "Blue Clear Sky". The next decade for which he was named Artist Of The Decade by the ACM, he was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame and won his first Grammy award for his hit album Troubadour. Strait continued his previous successes during this time, producing a more contemporary sound with moderate cross-over hits including "She'll Leave You with a Smile" and "You'll Be There".

Strait won CMA Entertainer of the year in 1989 and 1990 and ACM Entertainer of the year in 1990. He has been nominated for more CMA and ACM awards and has more wins in both categories than any other artist. As of 2009, he holds the record for the most Number One hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts with 44 number one singles on that chart. Counting all other music charts, Strait has amassed a total of 57 number one hits overall, breaking a record previously set by Conway Twitty.

His best-selling album is Pure Country (1992), which sold 6 million (6× Multi-platinum). His highest certified album is Strait Out of the Box (1995), which sold 2 million copies (8× Multi-Platinum due to being a box set with four CDs).
