"The Love We Had (stays On My Mind)" Lyrics

Verse 1
Lately babe, 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

Bridge
But early this morning, when I opened my eyes
That old lonesome feeling, took me by surprise
I guess you meant more than I realize
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 baby girl, I've been remembering
The good times that we used to share
My thoughts of you, don't have an ending
And the memories of you are everywhere

Bridge
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
It's just that I'm so lonely with no place to turn
And here at the end, I find...

Pre-Chorus
The love we had stays on my mind

Chorus
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 laid down to dream awhile
And lately I've been so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile

Bridge
But I'm not complaining
Cause that's how it goes
There's always some heartache
In this world I suppose
But you can't imagine......,
nobody knows
The love.......
The love we had stays on my mind........
