The Love We Had (Stays on My Mind)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] But early this morning when I opened my eyes That old lonesome feelin' took me by surprise I guess you meant more than I realized [Chorus] The love we had stays on my mind (The love we had) The love we had stays on my mind (Stays on my mind) [Verse 2] And pretty girl, I've been rememberin' The good times that we used to share My thoughts of you don't have an ending And memories of you are everywhere [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] The love we had stays on my mind [Bridge] 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) [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] The love we had stays on my mind (Stays on my mind, stays on my mind) The love we had stays on my mind (I never will forget you, baby) The love we had stays on my mind (Why? How could I tell you) The love we had stays on my mind (No, no, no, no) The love we had stays on my mind (I never, never will forget you, baby) The love we had stays on my mind (It's so lonesome without you, darling) The love we had stays on my mind (I want you, baby) The love we had stays on my mind (I want you, baby) The love we had stays on my mind (Early this morning, I love you, baby) The love we had stays on my mind (I'm just so lonely)
