When I Had You - Jerry Jeff Walker
When I had you, I had things to do
I never took time for you
Now that you're gone, all I've got is time
And all I do is think of you
[Chorus]
But we never want things we've already got
We always want what we can't have
Just like the child who's thrown away a toy
Once someone else's got it, how you'll cry to get it back
The day you left, you said you'd found someone
I realized the love you gave
Now I see how much you meant to me
I know how much love you give away
Chorus
Never miss water, 'til the well runs dry
Then you can't believe it's gone
Well I know you're gone, I know you won't be back
Can't believe I'm so alone
[Chorus]
We never want things that we've already got
We always want what we can't have
Just like the child who's thrown away his toy
Once someone else's got it, how he crys to get it back
