george strait - i'd like to have that one back lyrics

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.

[chorus:]
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.

[chorus:]
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."
