The Ballad of What Could Have Been

Sitting on your side of the bed Waiting for the fading of the hurt Can't seem to get out of my head Nostalgia for the things that never were The flowers that we would have grown The house with skyline views We'd paint the walls that forest green We always said we'd do The dreams we had, the dreams we lost Oh none of them came true But someday I might see you at a party and say Oh, remember when it was nearly love? Wе were younger thеn And oh, we'll laugh and say there's no regrets We found our way I can't wait for that day But I'll sing until then The ballad of what could have been What could have been Two tickets up to Londontown Get caught out in the rain You'd put your jacket on my arms While I sleep on the train I dreamed we never fell apart Woke up and called your name But when it fades I might see you on a corner and say Oh, remember when it was nearly love? We were younger then And oh, we'll laugh and say there's no regrets We found our way I can't wait for that day But I'll sing until then The ballad of what could have been What could have been
