I hear you just got married

Took a month long honeymoon

A new love 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

Everynight 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 standing up

I told John he must've 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

Standing there with you

It could've been me

And my dreams coming 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 carry it around in my pocket

Waitin to say the right thing

I pulled it out the other day

But the diamond had lost it's shine

Well I know how it feels cause my eyes grow dim

When I think you could've been mine





(Repeat chorus)





I know I called just in time a bit 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
