What Could Have Been Lyrics

There was someone I used to love A long, long time ago He found someone before I had A chance to let him know And every time I tried to get My heart to close that door I'd think about what could have been And only love him more I told a friend how sad I was That fate was so unfair This perfect love that could have been My heart would never share And not till summer came and went Did her advice ring true When I found out my heart was meant To fall in love with you We never know what could have been But looking back we see What could have been and never was Was never meant to be I saw the one I used to love When I went out today I said hello, I met his wife Then I was on my way It may be luck, it may be fate It may be god's design I only know it's no mistake I'm yours and you are mine We never know what could have been But looking back we see What could have been and never was Was never meant to be
