Could've been

The memories of our loving still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses stay with me everywhere
Every time I get my hopes up they always seem to fall
Still what could’ve been is better than what could never be
at all, at all

It could’ve been so beautiful, it could’ve been so right
You could’ve been my lover every day of my life
It could’ve been so beautiful, it could’ve been so right
But I’ll never hope what could’ve been on a cold and lonely
night, oh no
How can you hold what could’ve been on a cold and lonely night
