Could've Been Lyrics

The flowers you gave me Are just about to die When I think about what could've been Makes me want to cry The sweet words you whispered Didn't mean a thing I guess our song is over As we began to sing Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right Could've been my lover Every day 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 memories of our loving Still linger in the air Like the faded scent of your roses Stay with me everywhere Everytime I get my hopes up They always seem to fall Still, what could've been Is better than 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 day of my life Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right You can't hold what could've been On a cold and lonely night Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right You can't hold what could've been On a cold and lonely night No, no-oh How can you hold what could've been On a cold and lonely night
