Story Behind The Song

(see long description)

Song Description

It's a good thing I ended up with the guy i'm with, because I'm happy. It's a sad thing to wonder what my life would be like if I would have ended up with one of those other guys I dated.

Lyrics

Sad Thing To Wonder
Words and Music ?2001 Angela Taylor/Skinny Angel Music

Looking through cards and letters
From days before
Thinking of my old lovers
Boys I adored
Wondering how things would have been if I?d ended up
Settling down with one of them
Now I gotta say it?s better
Cause I like the path that my life has led

Yeah it?s a sad thing to wonder what could have been
If only my affections had been returned
And it?s a sad thing to wonder what I might have done
If one of those old love affairs hadn?t come undone

Could have been rich could have been poor
Could have been living in a trailer with the boy next door
Could have been driving a Mercedes-Benz
Could have been walking where the Sidewalk Ends
Wondering how things would have been if I?d ended up
Settling down with one of them
Now I gotta say it?s better
Cause I like the path that my life has led

Yeah it?s a sad thing to wonder what could have been
If only my affections had been returned
And it?s a sad thing to wonder what I might have done
If one of those old love affairs hadn?t come undone

Could have been famous
or I could have died in obscurity
Who would have thought that this wonderful life
could have happened to a girl like me
You never know for certain what kinda
path that your life will take
The only thing that?s certain is that
your life is your own to make

Yeah it?s a sad thing to wonder what could have been
If only my affections had been returned
And it?s a sad thing to wonder what I might have done
If one of those old love affairs hadn?t come undone
