Lyrics
Things I Might Have Been
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I might have been a helpless soul with nothing much in store
I might have been without a gold just dreams and nothing more
I might have known my life alone but that's where you came in
Your loving arms have saved me from the things I might have been
I might have been the kind who roams a stranger everywhere
Just one of those poor stay-at-homes with no one's lips to share
But your sweet kiss has changed all this and made my life begin
So keep loving me don't let me be the things I might have been
The things I might have been
