Could've Been The flowers you gave me, Are just about to die. When I think about, What could've been, It makes me want to cry.
The sweet words you whispered, Didn't mean a thing. I guess our song is over, As we begin to sing.
Could've been so beautiful, Could've been so right, Could've been my lover, Every day of my life. Could've been so beautiful, Could've been so right. I'll never hold what could've been, On a cold and lonely night.
The memories of our lovin', Still linger in the air, Like the fainted scent of your roses, They stay with me everywhere.
Every time I get my hopes up,
They always seem to fall. Still what could've been, Is better than, What could never be at all, At all,
Could've been so beautiful, Could've been so right, Could've been my lover, Every day of my life. Could've been so beautiful, Could've been so right. You can't hold what could've been, On a cold and lonely night.
Could've been so beautiful, Could've been so right, You can't hold what could've been, On a cold and lonely night. No, No at all,
How could I hold what could've been, On a cold and lonely night?
