The Things I Might Have Been

Kris Kristofferson · Breakaway [1974]

(Robert B. Sherman - Richard M. Sherman)



I might have been a helpless soul

With nothing much in store

I might have been without a gold

Just dream and nothing more,



I might have known my life alone

But that's where you came in

Your lovin' arms have saved me

From the things I might have been.



I might have been a kind

Who roam a stranger everywhere

Or one of those for stay at home

With no one's lips to share.



But your sweet kiss has changed

All this and made my life begin

Keep lovin' me don't let me be

The things I might have been...
