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
