/thoughts are captured in/

 

 

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

/Why today of all days does this hold me captive? I try to fight it but it’s no use. Might as well let it run its course./

 


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

/I do know why this is hitting me so hard today.  She isn’t in my life anymore.  We two shared something special but I couldn’t make it work.  Me and my issues prevented me from fully committing to her./


And baby girl, I was tired
So I lay down to dream a while
And lately I've been so uninspired
Without the comfort of your smile

But I'm not complaining that's how it goes
There's always some heartaches in this life I suppose
But you can't imagine, 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

 

/After my fiancé died years ago I refused to feel that kind of hurt again so I decided not to fall in love again.  But I did fall in love again.  I held back and didn’t give this new love what she deserved and she tired in waiting for me to open up to her as she opened up to me.  Now I’m sitting here thinking about the times that I shared with her.  I miss her more than I ever thought possible./  

 

I love you baby

I’ll never, never will forget you baby

I’m so lonesome without you darling

No, no, no

 

/The regrets of things not done and words not said.  The if only, would haves, should haves, all I can do now is think about her./

 

John, I’ve never heard you play this song before now.  What are you thinking about now?  Or rather whom are you thinking about? John’s brother Michael asked as they sat in John’s living room.  Michael knew that John had several women in his life since his fiancé died but he wasn’t sure to which of those women this song referred. He hated to see his brother so forlorn.  With all that has happened to the two of them here in Llanview, he only wished happiness for his brother.

 

John looked at his brother with sad eyes.  He knew that it would surprise his brother to no end to realize just which woman stirred this melancholy in him.  But he was not ready to share it with him just yet. This was his alone, his and hers so he whispered her name in his mind.
