The Life That Could Have Been - A1

I meet someone the other day

It’s good to see her face again

She’s the one who got a way

Way back when

Showed photos of her family

Soon to marry mum to be She used to want all that with me And she smiled and I laughed

Then I imagined if I didn’t take that fight

What would my world be like?

Would I be standing at the altar by her side?

Would her child be mine?

And I think that I’ve just seen

The Life That Could Have Been

She’s happy now and that’s a fact

And who am I to mess with that

So I won’t try to get her back

In a way I’m glad

'Cause that was then and this is now

Still I can’t help but think about

All the things that I’m without

But I wave the white flag

Then I imagined if I didn’t take that fight

What would my world be like?

Would I be standing at the altar by her side?

Would her child be mine?

And I think that I’ve just seen

The Life That Could Have Been

And as she was walking away

I thought I saw her

Turn back and hesitate

Look at me as if to say

I imagined if you didn’t take that fight

What would my world be like?

Would you be standing at the altar by my side?

What would our child look like?

Then I imagined if I didn’t take that fight

What would my world be like?

Would I be standing at the altar by her side?

Would her child be mine?

And it’s the strangest thing

And I think that I’ve just seen

The Life That Could Have Been
