The Love We Had (Strays on My Mind) Songtext
von The Dells

Lately, babe, 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

But early this morning
When I opened 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, pretty 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 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 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 awhile
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
Stays on my mind
Stays on my mind

I never will forget you, baby
Why, how can I tell you
No, no, no, no

I never, never will forget you baby
It′s so lonesome without you, darling

Oh, I want you, baby
I want you, baby
Early this morning I love you baby
I′m just a lonely person...
