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"
