A long, long time ago

He found someone before I had

The chance to let him know



And every time I tried to get

My heart to close that door

I'd only think about what could have been

And only love him more



I told a friend how sad I was

The fate was so unfair

This prefect love that could have never been

My heart would never share



Not till summer came and went

Did her advice rig true

When I found out my heart was meant

To fall in love with you



We never know what could have been

But looking back we see

What could have been and never

Was never meant to be



I saw the one I used to love

When I went out today

I said hello, I met his wife

Then I was on my way



It may be luck, it may be fate

It may be God's design

I only know it's no mistake

I'm yours and you are mine



We never know what could have been

But looking back we see

What could have been but never was

Was never meant to be
