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, but something made you cry
And I don’t think we ever said goodbye
And now I’ll always wonder why

Oh, I wonder who you became
Did you change the world or play the game
Oh, 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 my way
Maybe I’m afraid you’ll really answer
What would I say to you

Oh, I wonder who you became
Did you change the world or play the game
Oh, we came so close to love back then
We could have been
We could have been
