[Verse 1]Lately babe, I've been thinkin'How good it was when you were hereAnd it ain't the wine that I've been drinkin'For once I feel my head is clear[Pre-Chorus]But early this morning when I opened my eyesThat old lonesome feelin' took me by surpriseI guess you meant more than I realized[Chorus]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 pretty girl, I've been rememberin'The good times that we used to shareMy thoughts of you don't have an endingAnd memories of you are everywhere[Pre-Chorus]But why should I tell you? It's not your concernYou win some, you lose some, I've lost and I've learnedIt's just that I'm so lonely with no place to turnAnd here at the end I'll find[Chorus]The love we had stays on my mind[Bridge]Girl, if you were nearer, if you had a mirrorMaybe you could count my tearsAnd if you were nearer, it would all be clearerHow I wish that you were hereHow I wish that you were here(How I wish that you were here)[Verse 3]And baby girl, I was tiredSo I lay down to dream a whileAnd lately I've been so uninspiredWithout the comfort of your smile[Pre-Chorus]But I'm not complaining 'cause that's how it goesThere's always some heartaches in this world I supposeBut you can't imagine, nobody knowsThe love[Chorus]The love we had stays on my mind(Stays on my mind, stays on my mind)The love we had stays on my mind(I never will forget you, baby)The love we had stays on my mind(Why? How could I tell you)The love we had stays on my mind(No, no, no, no)The love we had stays on my mind(I never, never will forget you, baby)The love we had stays on my mind(It's so lonesome without you, darling)The love we had stays on my mind(I want you, baby)The love we had stays on my mind(I want you, baby)The love we had stays on my mind(Early this morning, I love you, baby)The love we had stays on my mind(I'm just so lonely)
