Lately baby
I've been thinking
How good it was
When you were here
And it ain't the wine
That I been drinking
For once I feel
My head is clear
But early this morning
When I opened up 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 mind
And boy
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 everywhere
But why should I tell you
It's not your concern
You win some, you lose some
Well I've lost and I've learned
Is just I'm so lonely
With no place to turn
And here at the end
I'll find
The love we had
Stays bright on my mind
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 boy I was tired
So I laid down to dream to a little while
But lately I've been so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile
But I'm not complaining
Cuz that's just how it goes
There's always some heartache
In this world I suppose
But you can't even imagine
Nobody knows
The 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.
