Lately baby
I've been thinkingHow good it was
When you were hereAnd it ain't the wine
That I been drinkingFor once I feel
My head is clearBut early this morning
When I opened my eyes
That old lonesome feeling
Took me by surprise
I guess you meant more
To me than I realized
The love we had stays on
My mind
The love we had stays on
My mindAnd girl
I've been remembering
The good times that we used
To share
My thoughts of you
Don't have an ending
And memories of you
Are everywhereBut why should I tell you
It's not your concern
You win some, you lose some
Well I've lost and I've learnedit's just that i'm so lonely
With no place to turn
And here at the end
I find
The love we had
Stays right on my mindThe love we had stays on my mind
Girl, if you were nearer
If you had a mirror
Maybe you could count my tearsAnd if you were nearer
It would all be clearerHow I wish that you were hereHow I wish that you were here
How I wish that you were hereAnd baby girl I was tired
So I laid down to dream a while
And lately I've been so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smileBut I'm not complaining
Cuz that's how it goes
There's always some heartache
In this world I suppose
But you can't imagine
But nobody knowsThe love we had
Stays on my mind
The love we had
Stays on my mind
The love we had
Stays on my mind
The love we had stays on my mind
