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