I hear you just got married
Had a month long honeymoon
And you were all smiles at the wedding
And 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've been crazy
'Cause you were just about to say I do
He just gave me a wink and
said all he could think
Is it could've been me with you
It could have been me
standing there with you
It could have 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 have been me
I don't guess I ever told you
That I went out and bought you a ring
I even carried it around in my pocket
Waiting to say the right thing
I pulled it out the other day
But the diamond had lost it's shine
Well I know how it feels
'cause my eyes grow dim
When I think you could've been mine
It could have been me
standing there with you
It could have 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 have been me
Oh I called her just in time to be too late
You know those dreams move on
if you wait too long
It took me till now to see
That it could have been me
standing there with you
It could have 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 have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
It could have been me
