James Taylor Places In My Past song lyrics

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.
