George Strait
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Heard somebody speak her name They said she was still looking fine I could feel that same old flame I once felt when she was mine Always thought that I was missing something But I found out much too late There'll never be another who loved me that way [Chorus] I'd like to have that one back I've never known someone so true And a love that's pure and sweet Is what a man should never lose And if my lips had said I'm sorry She might have stopped right in her tracks Now I find my poor heart saying I'd like to have that one back I can almost see her standing there Tears rolling down her face As she packed away her memories In that old worn out suit case If I'd only known then what I know now I'd never open that door Oh they just don't make hearts like her's any more [Chorus] I wouldn't here my poor heart saying I'd like to have that one back I wouldn't here my poor heart saying I'd like to have that one back
