Lyrics
Hello old friend, how you bin?
Ain't seen you since, don't know when
How's your wife, and your family
Now the kids have flown, are you feeling free?
Do you ever regret, the things you haven't done?
You might have been famous
You could have had more fun
And when you think about those times
And you think about your dreams
Did you ever ask yourself, what might have been?
Hello old friend, hope you're well?
So your hair's turned grey, but what the hell
How's that job, are you still working hard?
Do you ever get to play, that old guitar?
Remember those nights
When we played in the band?
Never earned much money
Just a few quid in the hand
And when you think about those times
And you think about your dreams
Did you ever ask yourself, what might have been?
What might have been, you'll never know
You take a chance, you choose a road
Sometimes you loose, sometimes you win
Sometimes you ask, what might have been?
Hello old friend, mind how you go
Just take it easy, just take it slow
How's that voice, now you're not so young?
Hope you're still singing, those rock n roll songs?
Do you ever go back
To the old home town?
Hear it's changed
I guess they've knocked it around
So when you think about those times
And you think about your dreams
Did you ever ask yourself, what might have been?
What might have been, you'll never know
You take a chance, you choose a road
Sometimes you loose, sometimes you win
Sometimes you ask, what might have been?
Sometimes you loose, sometimes you win
Sometimes you ask, what might have been?
