[Originally performed by Tiffany]

The flowers that you gave me

Are just about to die
When I think about what could've been
Makes me want to cry

The sweet words you whispered
Didn't mean a thing
I guess our song is over

As we begin to sing

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right
Could've been my lover
Everyday of my life

Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
I'll never know what could've been

On a cold and lonely night

The memories of our lovin'

Still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses
Stay with me everywhere

Everytime I get my hopes up
They always seem to fall
Still what could've been

Is better than what could never be at all

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right
Could've been my lover
Everyday of my life

Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
You can't know what could've been

On a cold and lonely night

Could've been so beautiful

Could've been so right
You can't know what could've been
On a cold and lonely night

Ni-ooh-ight
Ni-ooh-ight
How can you know what could've been

On a cold and lonely night
