Places In My Past--James Taylor

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
