From:
The flowers you gave me
are just about to die
when I think about
what could've 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
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
they stay with me everywhere
Everytime 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
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
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 hold what could've been
on a cold and lonely night? night night
How can you hold what could've been
on a cold and lonely night
