The flowers you gave me
Are just about to die
When I think about
What couldve been
Makes me want to cry

The sweet words you whispered
Didn't make a thing
I guess our song is over
Cause we began 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 never know what couldve of been
On a cold and lonely night

The memories of our loving
Still linger in the air
Like a faded scent of your roses
Stay with me everywhere

Every time I get my hopes up
They always seem to fall
Still what could've been is better then
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 of my life

Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
You could know what could've of been
On a cold and lonely night

Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
You could know what could've of been
On a cold and lonely night

How can you know what could've been
