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 fac es in a waking dream And though they never seemed to last very long There are faces I remem ber >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 I don't know I just seem to sing these songs And say I'm sorry for the friends I used to know
