THE LOVE WE COULD HAVE HAD
(BUT NEVER WILL)

Verse 1 I can’t stop thinking of you
I guess I really love you after all
And I can’t stop rememberin’
The way it used to be before
The fall
If I just hadn’t spoke up
And made that silly joke up
We would be together still
But I’m just sittin’ thinkin’ of
THE LOVE WE COULD HAVE
HAD BUT NEVER WILL


Verse 2 It’s funny when you break up
You always think you’ll make up
any day
But some things you just can’t
erase
And I could see it on your face
that day
If I could take the thought back
If it could just be bought back
I would gladly pay the bill
But I’m just sittin’ thinkin’ of
THE LOVE WE COULD HAVE
HAD BUT NEVER WILL

Bridge If I had another chance with you
I’d get it right this time
If I had just one more dance with
you
Maybe we’d get it right this time

Verse 3 If we could make a plan now
If we could understand now how
we feel
Remember all the good times
And not dwell on the bad times
in the past
I could see us both together
Sharing love that lasts forever
Showing how we truly feel
And I won’t be sittin’ thinkin’ of
THE LOVE WE COULD HAVE
HAD BUT NEVER WILL
And I won’t be sittin’ thinkin’ of
THE LOVE WE COULD HAVE
HAD BUT NEVER WILL
And I won't be sittin' thinkin' of
THE LOVE WE COULD HAVE
HAD BUT NEVER WILL
