Could've Been

The flowers you gave me are just about to die
I think about what could have been
Makes me want to cry
The sweet words you whispered didn't mean a thing
I guess our song was over as we began to sing

Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
Could have been my lover
Every day in my life
Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
I'll never know what could have been
On a cold and lonely night

Memories of our loving still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses
Stay with me everywhere
Every time I get my hopes up, they always seem to fall
Still what could have been is better than
What can never be at all, at all

Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
Could have been my lover
Every day in my life
Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
You can know what could have been
On a cold and lonely night

Could have been so right
You can know what could have been
On a cold and lonely night
How can you know what could have been
On a cold and lonely night?
