The flowers you gave me
Are just about to die
When I think about
What couldve been
Makes me want to cry
The sweet words you whispered
Didn't make a thing
I guess our song is over
Cause we began 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 never know what couldve of been
On a cold and lonely night
The memories of our loving
Still linger in the air
Like a faded scent of your roses
Stay with me everywhere
Every time I get my hopes up
They always seem to fall
Still what could've been is better then
What can never be at all, 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 know what could've of been
On a cold and lonely night
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
You could know what could've of been
On a cold and lonely night
How can you know what could've been
