We Could Have Been

Today at work

I overheard a name

I knew it wasn't yours

But it touched me just the same

It felt so good

To have you in my mind

Guess I'm the sentimental kind

Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game?

We came so close to love back then

We could have been

You were so brave when I was shy

I made you laugh when somethin' made you cry

And I don't think we ever said goodbye

Now I'll always wonder why

Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game?

We came so close to love back then

We could have been

A time or two, I thought about calling

But something always gets in the way

Maybe I'm afraid you'd really answer

What would I say to you?

Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game?

We came so close to love back then

We could have been

We could have been
