Lyrics

Places In My Past

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There are ladies in my life, lovely ladies in these lazy days.

And though I never took a wife, may I say that I have loved me one or two.

Of the people in my past, fading faces in a waking dream,

and though they never seemed to last very long,

there are faces I remember from the places in my past.

I said all the dead head miles and the insincere smiles.

Sometimes I can laugh and cry and I can't remember why.

But I still love those good times gone by, hold on to them close or let them go, oh no.

I don't know, I just seem to sing these songs

and say I'm sorry for the friends I used to know.
