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 beautifull
Could've been so right
Could've been my lover
Every day of my life
Could've been so beautifull
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 fainted 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, at all (*)
Could've been so beautifull
Could've been so right
You can't hold what could've been
On a cold and lonely night
No, no at all
How could I hold what could've been
On a cold and lonely night?
