Lately baby, I've been thinking
How good it was when you were here
And it ain't the wine that I've been drinking
For once I feel my head is clear

Early this morning
When I opened up my eyes
That old lonesome feeling
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 boy, 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 your concern
You win some, you lose some
Well I've lost and I've learned
Is just that I'm so lonely
With no place to turn
And here at the end, I find

The love that we had
Stays right on my mind
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 boy I was just so tired
So I laid down to dream a while
But lately I've been so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile

But I'm not complaining
Cause that's just how it goes
There's always some heartache
In this world, I suppose
But you can't imagine
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
Tha love we had stays on my mind
