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 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 Chorus It could've been me It could've been me It could've been me It could've been me
