Lyrics

Love I've Lost In You

I'm not askin' you to leave, I'm not askin' you to stay.
Just askin' for a chance for the bad to go away.
But I still can't keep from cryin'
Over the love I've lost in you.

All our big plans shot to hell, all our daydreams, pennies in a well.
Sittin' on our hind-sight thinkin' how we once felt.
But I still can't keep from cryin'
Over the love I've lost in you.

If the days, they grew shorter, and the nights, they grew longer,
Would the time ever come when your dreams, they came true?
And in the mornin', when you woke up, mamma, would I be next to you.

I'll admit I was to blame, I treated you bad, now I'm so ashamed.
It's plain to see I failed at all my attempts to change.
But I still can't keep from cryin'
Over the love I've lost in you.

If the days, they grew shorter, and the nights, they grew longer,
Would the time ever come when your dreams, they came true?
And in the mornin', when you woke up, would I be next to you.

I'm not askin' you to leave, I'm not askin' you to stay.
Just askin' for a chance, just that one chance for the bad to go away.
But I still can't keep from cryin'
Over the love I've lost in you
No, I still can't keep from cryin'
Over the love I've lost in you
