I can hear the wind a blowing in my mind Just the way it used to sound Through the Georgia pines And you were there to answer when I called You and me we had it all Remember how I used to touch your hair? While reaching for the feeling That was always there You were the best thing in my life I can recall you and me we had it all I know that we can never live those times again So I let my dreams take me back To where we have been Then I'll stay with you girl as long as I can Oh it was so good oh it was so good Oh it was so good when I was your man I'll never stop believing in your smile Even though you didn't stay It was all worthwhile You were the best thing in my life I can recall you and me we had it all You and me we had it all
