Story Behind The Song
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN INTRIGUED BY STORY SONGS...WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I COULDN'T WRITE THEM. YOU'LL HAVE TO DECIDE IF I WROTE THIS ONE RIGHT.

Lyrics
You're looking just as beautiful as the first time that we met
This is about as chance a meeting as two people can get
There you are with your husband and here I stand with my wife
When you said hello I thought about some other place, some other time
Some other place, some other time
I could have been yours, you could have been mine
If we'd been dealt another hand in life
I'd be holding you tonight
Some other place, some other time
We were two lonely people on a cold Chicago night
Loneliness can take it's toll when morning's nowhere near in sight
The memory of our love lingers on beyond the passion we could not deny
Before I fell in love with her we had some other place, some other time
Some other place, some other time
I could have been yours, you could have been mine
If we'd been dealt another hand in life
I'd be holding you tonight
Some other place, some other time
You and I could tempt fate...But that will have to wait
We must think with our heads and not our hearts
We have one sweet memory...That's all for you and me
It's best we live our lives just the way we are
Some other place, some other time
I could have been yours, you could have been mine
If we'd been dealt another hand in life
I'd be holding you tonight
Some other place, some other time
