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
