Jimmy Scott - Those Who Were

Some times I think can change the life forever
A someone you don’t know is at your door
who brings into your life a little mettle
and then becomes a someone you adore
Hold on to each and every moment
or summer’s turned to fall
and those we loved had turned to memories
who wouldn’t love and lose than not know love at all
Remembering those times we spent together
I wonder why those moments had to win
why everything we love is taken from us
yet somehow know we do it all again
I hold on to each precious moment
and then, when I recall
the joy, that’s filled with every memory
I’d rather love and lose then not know love at all
Hold on to each and every moment
or summer’s turned to fall
and those we loved had turned to memories
who wouldn’t love and lose than not know love at all
Remembering those times we spent together
I wonder why those moments had to win
why everything we love is taken from us
yet somehow know we do it all again
I hold on to each precious moment
and then, when I recall
the joy that’s filled with every memory
I’d rather love and lose than not know love at all
