Could've Been Me
- written by Reed Nielsen & Monty Powell
I hear you just got married,
Took a month long honeymoon,
And you were all smiles at the wedding,
You cried when you kissed the groom.
I got no invitation.
I guess the mailman didn't bring it to me.
But I see the whole thing in slow motion
Every night as I try to sleep.
My buddy John said you looked real pretty
And you acted like you were in love.
He said the preacher asked for objections
And he thought about standin' up.
I told John he must have been crazy
'Cause you were just about to say I do.
He just gave me a wink and said all he could think
Was it could've been me with you.
CHORUS:
It could've been me
Standin' there with you.
It could've been me
And my dreams comin' true.
But those dreams move on
If you wait too long.
It took me 'til now to see
It could've been me.
I don't guess I ever told you
That I went out and bought you a ring.
I even carried it around in my pocket
Waitin' to say the right thing.
I pulled it out the other day,
But the diamond had lost its shine.
Well, I know how it feels 'cause my eyes grow dim
When I think you could have been mine.
REPEAT CHORUS
I know I called you just in time to be too late.
You know dreams move on if you wait too long.
It took me 'til now to see that
REPEAT CHORUS
It could've been me
It could've been me
It could've been me
It could've been me
