I remember summer Of nineteen ninety three She was tall and blond and tan and man She was all in love with me She started talking about our future And it scared me half to death So I ran away but to this day Her memory takes my breath Should've seen her smile Should've heard her laugh Oh, the way her eyes would dance When she brushed her hair back She could've been mine She would've been in another place and time And now and then, I go there in my mind She would've been, she should've been mine She could've been mine Home for the holidays A friend's party, New Year's Eve I turned around and found familiar Blue eyes staring back at me A little girl came running up I took her by the hand And a memory in miniature said Mommy, who's that man? Should've seen her little smile Should've heard her little laugh Oh, the way her eyes just danced When she brushed her hair back She could've been mine She would've been in another place and time Now and then, I go there in my mind She would've been, she should've been She could've been mine, mine, mine In another place and time Mine, mine, mine Could've been mine Should've been, would've been Could've been all mine Would've been mine
