I'd Like To Have That One Back - George Strait

(Bill Shore/Rick West/Aaron Barker)

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 missin' 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, never known someone so true. 
And a love that pure and sweet is what 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 rollin' 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 opened 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 what 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."
