Could've Been

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 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 memory's of our lovin' Still linger in the air Like the faded scent of your roses They 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 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 could love what could've been On a cold and lonely night?
