Lyrics

Should've Been You
written by David A. Alberding

It could have been you walking in
With that fire in your eyes, a warm, wicked grin
That the whole world notices or maybe that's just me

My hart starts thumping; the world's a blur
Too much time's gone by for me to be sure
So I sing a little louder. Maybe you'll come to me

But you move past, you stand in line
You flash a glance, but miss my sign
And leave as though you never knew
It should have been you
It should have been you

It could have been you at the door
Just a ringing my bell like you done before
But a witness was waiting with some words he had borrowed from Paul
And it would have been you on the telephone
Calling me with the reason that I'm here alone
I was slow on the pick up, didn't listen, I keep missing your call

All those times I had your ear
I blew my chance for you to hear
The words I thought you always knew,
It should have been you
It should have been you

It could have been you if I'd given you a ring
It would have been you if I'd known a blessed thing
It should have been you here listening to me sing
It should have been you

If I knew then what I know how
I'd find some way, someplace, somehow
To speak the words that still ring true
It should have been you
It should have been you
