The flowers that you gave me
Are just about to die
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
Could´ve been so beautiful
Could´ve been so right
I´ll never know what could´ve been
On a cold and lonely night

The memories of our lovin´
Still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses
Stay with me everywhere
Everytime I get my hopes up
They always seem to fall
Still what could´ve been
Is better than what could never be at all

Could´ve been so beautiful
Could´ve been so right
Could´ve been my lover
Everyday of my life
Could´ve been so beautiful
Could´ve been so right
You can´t know what could´ve been
On a cold and lonely night

Could´ve been so beautiful
Could´ve been so right
You can´t know what could´ve been
On a cold and lonely night
Ni-ooh-ight
Ni-ooh-ight
How can you know what could´ve been
On a cold and lonely night
