The flowers you gave me
Are just about to die
When 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 is over
As we begin to sing
Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
Could have been my lover
Every day of my life
Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
I'll never hold what Could have been
On a cold and lonely night
The memorise of your lovin'
Still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses
They stay with me everywhere
Everytime I get my hopes up
They always seem to fall
Still what Could have been is better than
What could neverepeat at all at all
Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
Could have been my lover
Every day of my life
Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
You can love I couldn't be
On a cold and lonely night
Could have been so beautiful
Could have been so right
You can love what Could have been
On a cold and lonely night
No no cold
How could I hold what Could have been
On a cold and lonely night
