The flowers you gave me
Are just about to die
When I think about
What couldve been
It makes me want to cry

The sweet words you whispered
Didnt mean a thing
I guess our song is over
As we begin to sing

Couldve been so beautiful
Couldve been so right
Couldve been my lover
Every day of my life
Couldve been so beautiful
Couldve been so right
Ill never hold what couldve been
On a cold and lonely night

The members 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 couldve been is better than
What could neverepeat chor be at all

Couldve been so beautiful
Couldve been so right
Couldve been my lover
Every day of my life
Couldve been so beautiful
Couldve been so right
Ill never hold what couldve been
On a cold and lonely night


How could I hold what couldve been
On a cold and lonely night?
