My buddy John said you looked real pretty
And you acted like you were in love
I don't guess I ever told you
It took me till now to see that it could've been me
It took me till now to see it could have been me
It took me till now to see it could have been me
Oh I called her just in time to be too late
It could have been me standing there with you
And you cried when you kissed the groom
But I see the whole thing in slow motion
It could have been me and my dreams coming true
When I think you could've been mine
Well I know how it feels 'cause my eyes grow dim
I got no invitation
But those dreams move on if you wait too long
It could have been me standing there with you
And you were all smiles at the wedding
It could have been me and my dreams coming true
Waiting to say the right thing
It could have been me standing there with you
I pulled it out the other day
It could have been me and my dreams coming true
It took me till now to see it could have been me
He just gave me a wink and said all he could think
That I went out and bought you a ring
I even carried it around in my pocket
You know those dreams move on if you wait too long
But those dreams move on if you wait too long
I told John, he must've been crazy
It could have been me
He said the preacher asked for objections
It could have been me
But those dreams move on if you wait too long
I guess the mailman didn't bring it to me
And he thought about standing up
'Cause you were just about to say I do
But the diamond had lost it's shine
Is it could've been me with you
Every night as I try to sleep
