The Oak Ridge Boys - It Could Have Been Ten Years Ago lyrics

When the candle at my table Cast it's light upon your face And suddenly I recognised you Well it took my breath away And for an hour you were mine again And it was like a dream Holding hands across the table And the years. You had stepped out of the darkness Like a ghost out of my past But it seems like only yesterday Since I had seen you last I was caught up in your smile And the way you made me feel It was like a night from ten years ago Yes it could have been ten years ago. From the trembling of my hands It could have been ten years ago Then you were gone and once again I am alone. Crying for a love with you that never was How good it could have been ten years ago. Well you ask all about me And you told me all your plans And though you never mentioned him I saw the ring upon your hand Oh but I couldn't help it Lord I fell in love again Just the way I fell ten years ago. Yes it could have been ten years ago. From the trembling of my hands It could have been ten years ago Then you were gone and once again I am alone. Crying for a love with you that never was How good it could have been ten years ago Yes it could have been ten years ago.
