The Love We Had Stays On My Mind - Dells, The Dells

Lately, babe, I’ve been thinking

How good it was when you were near

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)

The love we had stays on my mind

(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

(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 can 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)

Oh, I want you, baby

(The love we had stays on my mind)

I want you, baby

(The love we had stays on my mind)…
