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 open that door
Oh, they just don't make hearts
Like hers anymore
I'd like to have that one back
I've 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"
