We Could Have Been

(Don Cook - John Jarvis)



Today at work I overheard a name

I knew it wasn't yours but it touched me just the same

It felt so good to have you in my mind

I guess I'm the sentimental kind.



Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been.



You were so brave when I was shy

I made you laugh when, somethin' made you cry

And I don't think we ever said goodbye

Now I'll always wonder why.



Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been.



A time or two I thought about calling

But something always gets in the way

Maybe I'm afraid you'd really answer

What would I say to you?



Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been.



We could have been...
