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
I never will forget you baby
The love we had stays on my mind
Why, how can 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
