I'd Like to Have That One Back

I heard somebody speak her name
They said she was still looking fine
And 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'll love me that way

I'd like to have that one back
I've never known someone so true
And a love that pure and sweet is one a man should never lose
And if my lips had said I'm sorry
She might have stopped right in her tracks
But 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 suitcase
If I'd only known then what I know now
I'd never opened that door
Oh, they just don't make hearts like hers anymore

I'd like to have that one back
Never known someone so true
And a love so pure and sweet is one a man should never lose
And if my lips had said I'm sorry
She might have stopped right in her tracks
I wouldn't hear my poor heart saying
I'd like to have that one back
I wouldn't hear my poor heart saying
I'd like to have that one back
