Verse 1   Lately babe, 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      Bridge   But early this morning, when I opened my eyes   That old lonesome feeling, took me by surprise   I guess you meant more than I realize   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 baby girl, I've been remembering   The good times that we used to share   My thoughts of you, don't have an ending   And the memories of you are everywhere      Bridge   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   It's just that I'm so lonely with no place to turn   And here at the end, I find...      Pre-Chorus   The love we had stays on my mind      Chorus   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)      Verse 3   And baby girl   I was tired   So I laid down to dream awhile   And lately I've been so uninspired   Without the comfort of your smile      Bridge   But I'm not complaining   Cause that's how it goes   There's always some heartache   In this world I suppose   But you can't imagine......,   nobody knows   The love.......   The love we had stays on my mind........
