The Dells
The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind)
Lately babe, I've been thinkin'
How good it was when you were here
And it ain't the wine that I've been drinkin'
For once I feel my head is clear
But early this mornin' when I opened my eyes
That old lonesome feelin' took me by surprise
I guess, you meant more than I realized
The love we had stays on my mind
The love we had stays on my mind
And pretty girl, I've been rememberin'
The good times that we used to share
My thoughts of you don't have an endin'
And memories of you are everywhere
But why should I tell you? It's not your concern
You win some, you lose some, 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'll find
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 girl, I was tired
So I lay down to dream a while
And lately I've been so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile
But I'm not complaining 'cause that's how it goes
There's always some heartaches in this world I suppose
But you can't 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
