It Could Have Been Me |
Sounds of people’s whispers saying |
«She's a pretty bride; |
you’re such a lucky man» |
I smile and blink the tears away |
And find the proper words to say |
While aching with the pain they just can’t understand |
It could have been me |
Wearing that dress of white |
It could have been me |
Holding you close tonight |
It could have been me |
Giving your children life |
Why can’t it be me who’ll be your wife? |
Now we’re all gathered together |
You vow your love for worse or better |
Lift her veil and kiss her with a tender glow |
Then leading her back up the aisle |
I try to meet your eyes and smile |
But all the time my heart is breaking so |
It could have been me |
Wearing that dress of white |
It could have been me |
Holding you close tonight |
It could have been me |
Giving your children life |
Why can’t it be me who’ll be your wife? |
They toast the lovely bride and groom |
And as you leave the noisy room |
They say that it’s my turn to catch the bride’s bouquet |
And as the crowd goes streaming past |
And someone says «He's hers at last» |
I hold my pretty flowers and slowly walk away |
It could have been me |
Wearing that dress of white |
It could have been me |
Holding you close tonight |
It could have been me |
Giving your children life |
Why can’t it be me who’ll be your wife? |
