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
|
