Mandy Moore - Could've Been lyrics

[Originally performed by Tiffany] The flowers that you gave me Are just about to die When I think about what could've been Makes me want to cry The sweet words you whispered Didn't mean a thing I guess our song is over As we begin to sing Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right Could've been my lover Everyday of my life Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right I'll never know what could've been On a cold and lonely night The memories of our lovin' Still linger in the air Like the faded scent of your roses Stay with me everywhere Everytime I get my hopes up They always seem to fall Still what could've been Is better than what could never be at all Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right Could've been my lover Everyday of my life Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right You can't know what could've been On a cold and lonely night Could've been so beautiful Could've been so right You can't know what could've been On a cold and lonely night Ni-ooh-ight Ni-ooh-ight How can you know what could've been On a cold and lonely night
