Steve Olson - What Could Have Been Lyrics

As the lonely hours pass
I sit and wonder why
Why I didn't tell you
How I felt when we said goodbye

Once again I'm thinking
About the one I let get away
And how you let me go as well
I guess all I can say

It's an age-old story
Seems like from the beginning of time
Lovers miss their moment
Never really knowing Why
Never giving what could have been a try

We were together for a moment now that moments gone
Fear got in the way, and both of us moved on
Yes, love may have taken root and may have bloomed
But without taking the chance any hope for that was doomed

It's an age-old story
Seems like from the beginning of time
Lovers miss their moment
Never really knowing, Why
Never giving what could have been a try

You may have been the one for me but know I'll never know
You may have been the one to have and hold
Before you know it the world has turned
And all your left with is lessons learned
And the wish that someday another chance to find a love that grows
