  • The flowers you gave me
    Are just about to die
    When I think about
    What could've been
    It makes me want to cry

    The sweet words you whispered
    Didn't mean a thing
    I guess our song is over
    As we begin 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'll never hold what could've been
    On a cold and lonely night

    The memory's of our lovin'
    Still linger in the air
    Like the faded scent of your roses
    They stay with me everywhere

    Every time I get my hopes up
    They always seem to fall
    Still what could've been is better than
    What could never be 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 love what could've been
    On a cold and lonely night? Writer/s: LOIS BLAISCH
