Neil Diamond - Me Beside You lyrics

Could've been me beside you, baby

Could've been me beside you

But I wasn't smart

Isn't it kind of funny, baby

Isn't it kind of funny,

Two of us apart

Sayin' it's kind of funny, baby

But it's the kind of funny

That can break your heart

All through the night

I can see you

All through the night

I call your name

Close my eyes and

I see you coming back to me

Wonder, could it be that way again

And I lie awake

And think of what we could have been

While you're lying there with him

Could've been me beside you, baby

Could've been me beside you

I should be that guy

Sayin' it's kind of funny

But it's the kind of funny

That can make you cry

All through the night

I can see you

All through the night

I call your name

Close my eyes and

I see you coming back to me

But I know that it's only in my head

'Cause I lie awake

And think of what I should have said

And you're there with him instead

Should've been me beside you, baby

Should've been me beside you

I should be that guy

Never had time to take you dancin'

Never had time for dancin'

And I don't know why

Isn't it time we got together

Isn't it time we try it

Back to you and I

Could've been me beside you, baby

Could've been me beside you

I should be that guy

Could've been me beside you, baby

Could've been me beside you
