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
