PLACES IN MY PAST
James Taylor - 1971


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 
I don't know 
I just seem to sing these songs 
And say I'm sorry for the friends I used to know
