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
[Chorus]
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
Could've been my lover
Everyday of my life
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
I'll never know what could've been
On a cold and lonely night
The memories of our lovin
Still linger in the air
Like the faded sent 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 could never be at all
At all
[Chorus]
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
You can know what could've been On a cold and lonely night
How can you know what could've been on a cold and lonely night
