Beth Nielsen Chapman - 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
