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 begin to sing
could've been so beautiful,
could've been so right
could've been my lover,
everyday of my life
i'll never know what could've been on a cold & lonely night
the memories of our loving still lingers in the air
like the faded scent of your roses,
stay with me everywhere
everytime i get my hopes up,
they always seem to fail
still, what could've been is better than what could never be at all
