The flowers you gave me Are just about to die When I think about what could've been Makes want to The sweet words you whispered Didn't mean a thing I guess our song is over As we began sing
Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right Could've been my lover Everyday of my life Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right I'll know what could've been On a cold and lonely
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 always seem to Still what could've been Is better than what could never be at all
Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right been my lover Everyday of my life Could've been so beautiful Could've so right You can't know what could've been On a cold and lonely night
Could've been so beautiful been so right You can't know what could've been On a cold lonely night Ni-ooh-ight Ni-ooh-ight How can you know what could've been On a cold and lonely night
