Love The One You're With

Lyrics: Stephen Stills
Music: Stephen Stills

Performed once by Stephen Stills with the Grateful Dead on 17 April 1983. More recently, played by Vince Welnick in 2003 and by Phil Lesh & Friends in 2005.

If you're down, and confused
And you don't remember, who you're talkin' to
Concentration slips away
'Cause your baby is so far away

Chorus
And there's a rose, in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies, with the dove
And if you can't be, with the one you love
Love the one you're with

Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' over good times you had
There's a girl, right next to you
And she's just waitin', for something to do

[Chorus]

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
So get it together, make it nice
You ain't gonna need, any more advice

[Chorus]
