Taylor, James - Places In My Past 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.

    song inspired by John's In My Life, whom James knew. He and the Beatles were recording their songs in the Abbey Road studios

    A.... 7....

    Very interesting that you would make this connection - because I too always thought these two songs were connected - both songs are about nostalgia.

    Omg!! I am so sad..This whole album reminds me of so much of my childhood! But now it reminds me of my sweet first born girl that adored my music of course since i took her to many concerts!! Her name was Jessica Amber Puhl and she was the most awesome woman and she left us December 23rd ,17 and i am trying as her mom to survive

    J.... P....

    I feel for you Jennifer. Your dear Jessica is smiling at you now. Keep the faith
