I can hear the wind blowing in my mind
Just the way it used to sound through the Georgia pines
You were there to answer when I called
You and me, Lord knows we had it all
Remember how I used to touch your hair
While reaching for a feeling that was always there
You were the best thing in my life that I 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've been
And I'll stay with you, gir,l as long as I can
Oh, it was so good, oh, so good, hmmmmm, 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 that I recall
You and me, we had it all
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm-mmmm
