The Dells - The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind) lyrics

rate me

Lately babe, I've been thinkin'<br />

How good it was when you were here<br />

And it ain't the wine that I've been drinkin'<br />

For once I feel my head is clear<br />

<br />

But early this mornin' when I opened my eyes<br />

That old lonesome feelin' took me by surprise<br />

I guess, you meant more than I realized<br />

<br />

The love we had stays on my mind<br />

The love we had stays on my mind<br />

<br />

And pretty girl, I've been rememberin'<br />

The good times that we used to share<br />

My thoughts of you don't have an endin'<br />

And memories of you are everywhere<br />

<br />

But why should I tell you? It's not your concern<br />

You win some, you lose some, I've lost and I've learned<br />

It's just that I'm so lonely with no place to turn<br />

And here at the end I'll find<br />

<br />

The love we had stays on my mind<br />

<br />

Girl, if you were nearer, if you had a mirror<br />

Maybe you could count my tears<br />

And if you were nearer, it would all be clearer<br />

How I wish that you were here<br />

How I wish that you were here<br />

How I wish that you were here<br />

<br />

And baby girl, I was tired<br />

So I lay down to dream a while<br />

And lately I've been so uninspired<br />

Without the comfort of your smile<br />

<br />

But I'm not complaining 'cause that's how it goes<br />

There's always some heartaches in this world I suppose<br />

But you can't imagine, nobody knows<br />

<br />

The love we had stays on my mind<br />

The love we had stays on my mind<br />

The love we had stays on my mind<br />

...<br /><br />
