The Love We Had Lyrics

Lately baby, I have been thinking
How good it was when you were here
And it ain't the wine that I have been drinking
For once I feel my head is clear (Ooh, yeah)
But early this morning, when I opened 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
(Ooh, stays on my mind)
The love we had stays on my mind.

And pretty girl, I have been remembering
The good times that we used to share
My thoughts of you do not have an ending
And the memories of you are everywhere.

But why should I tell you
it is not your concern
You win some, you lose some,
I have lost and I have learned,
it just 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
(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 have been so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile

But I am not complaining
Because that is how it goes
There is alway a heartache
In this world I suppose
