Could've Been Me lyrics

I hear you just got married

Took a month-long honeymoon

And you were all smiles at the wedding

You cried when you kissed the groom

I got no invitation

I guess the mailman didn't bring it to me

But I see the whole thing in slow motion

Every night as I try to sleep

My buddy John said you looked real pretty

And you acted like you were in love

He said the preacher asked for objections

And he thought about standing up

I told John he must have been crazy

'Cause you were just about to say I do

He just gave me a wink and said all he could think

Was it could've been me with you

It could've been me standing there with you

It could've been me and my dreams coming true

But those dreams move on if you wait too long

It took me till now to see it could've been me

I don't guess I ever told you

That I went out and bought you a ring

I even carry it around in my pocket

Waiting to say the right thing

I pulled it out the other day

But the diamond had lost its shine

Well, I know how it feels cause my eyes grow dim

When I think you could have been mine

It could've been me standing there with you

It could've been me and my dreams coming true

But those dreams move on if you wait too long

It took me till now to see it could've been me

I know I called just in time a bit too late

You know dreams move on if you wait too long

It took me till now to see that

It could've been me standing there with you

It could've been me and my dreams coming true

But those dreams move on if you wait too long

It took me till now to see it could've been me

(It could've been me) it could've been me

(It could've been me) it could've been me

(It could've been me) it could've been me
