The Dells – The Love We Had Stays On My Mind lyrics

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

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 (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
The good times that we used to share.
My thoughts of you don't have an ending (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
And the 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 year after year, I find
The love we had stayed on my mind. (Mmmm, hmmm.)

Girl, if you were nearer, (Mmmm, mmmm.)
If you had a mirror,
Maybe you could count my tears. (Mmmm, hmmm, mmmm.)
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 you were here.
How I wish that you were here.

And baby girl, I was tired, (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
So I laid down to dream a while.
And lately I've been so uninspired (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
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, nobody knows
The love we had 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, oh.
(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 want you, baby.
(The love we had stays on my mind.)
