The flowers that 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 that 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 Everyday day of my life Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right I'll never know what could've been On a cold and lonley night
The memories of our lovin' Still linger in the air Like the faded scent of your roses Stay with me everywhere Everytime I get my hopes up They only seem to fall Still what could've been Is better than what could never be at all
Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right Could've been my lover Everyday 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 lonley night
Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right You'll never know what could've been On a cold and lonley night How can you know what could've been On a cold and lonley night
