When I Had You
By 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:
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

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
