It Could Have Been Me

I got the paper this morning

At the corner like I always do

Scanned the travel section for a place to go

It?s Friday and the week is through

Found your picture on the local page

A story on the bride and groom


It could have been me, standing by your side

It could have been me, looking into your eyes

It could have been me, still giving all my love

I thank my lucky stars, cause it could have been me


Climbed onto the first southbound plane

Sandy beaches calling out my name

Strong rum drinks and the wind in my hair

I love to hear those Caribbean sounds

I might take two days or I might take 10

Or I might never go back again







It could have been me, standing by your side

It could have been me, looking into your eyes

It could have been me, still giving all my love

I thank my lucky stars, cause

It could have been me, until I realized

It could have been me, still hearing all your lies

It could have been me, that you were making a fool

It so hard to believe, if I had listened to you

It could have been me


You cried when I said goodbye

You said you could be true

All those other girls were just passing flings

But I?m so glad I passed on you


It could have been me, standing by your side

It could have been me, looking into your eyes

It could have been me, still giving all my love

I thank my lucky stars, cause

It could have been me, until I realized

It would have been me, still hearing all the lies

It could have been me, that you were making a fool



It so hard to believe, if I had listened to you

Oh, it could have been me

It could have been me

It could have been me

Oh, I?m so glad it?s not me
