George Strait - I'd Like to Have That One Back lyrics

I heard somebody speak her name
They said she still was 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
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 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
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
