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
Chorus: 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 faded scent of your roses 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 hold what could've been on a cold and lonely night
could’ve been so beautiful Could’ve been so right You can hold what could’ve been on a cold and lonely night
How can you hold what could’ve been on a cold and lonely night
