It Should Have Been Me

(Don Reid)



Wedding invitations, long receiving line

A veil that covered your face, a smile that covered mine

The honeymoon in New York, the stressed-out credit card

The Cape Cod on the corner, the two kids in the yard.



It should've been you, it should've been me

It should've been the way things turned out to be

It could've been now, it could've been how

We both dreamed that it would be.



But we both know where dreams come true

In fairy tales they do

But in life havin' you

It should've been me.

Proms and birthday parties, ball games and high school plays

Holdin' hands and cryin' on graduation days.



It should've been you, it should've been me

It should've been the way things turned out to be

It could've been now, it could've been how

We both dreamed that it would be.

It should've been you, it should've been me

It should've been the way things turned out to be

It could've been now, it could've been how

We both dreamed that it would be.



It should've been me, it should've been me...
