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 myeyes
That old lonesome feeling took me bysurprise
I guess you meant more to me than Irealized
The love we had stays on my mind
The love we had stays on my mind
And lately girl, 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 yourconcern
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
Yes I do
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, how I wish
How I wish that you were here
And baby girl I was tired
So I laid down to dream for a little while
But lately I've been so, so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile
But I'm not complaining
Cuz that's how it goes
There's always some heartache
In this world I suppose
But you can't imagin
But 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
