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抰 make a thing   I guess our song is over   Cause we began to sing       Couldve been so beautiful   Couldve been so right   Couldve been my lover   Every day of my life      Couldve been so beautiful   Couldve 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 couldve been is better then   What can never be at all... at all________      Couldve been so beautiful   Couldve been so right   Couldve been my lover   Every day of my life      Couldve been so beautiful   Couldve been so right   You could know what couldve of been   On a cold and lonely night      Couldve been so beautiful   Couldve been so right   You could know what could抳e of been   On a cold and lonely night      How can you know what couldve been    On a cold and lonely night
