Could've Been - Carrie Underwood

The flowers 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 began 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
