We Could Have Been

Today at work I overheard a name

I knew it wasn't yours but it touched me just the same

It felt so good to have you in my mind

I guess I'm the sentimental kind

I wonder who you became

Did you change the world

Or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been

You were so brave when I was shy

I made you laugh when something made you cry

And I don't think we ever said goodbye

Now I'll always wonder why

I wonder who you became

Did you change the world

Or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been

A time or two

I thought about calling

But something always gets in the way

Maybe I'm afraid you'd really answer

What would I say to you

I wonder who you became

Did you change the world

Or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been

We could have been
