AMERICA - YOU COULD'VE BEEN THE ONE lyrics

Written by John Batdorf and Sue Sheridan, ©1980

Found on Alibi and Ventura Highway And Other Favorites.

There's a bright light that's shinin' in your face

You can't even see me at all

Oh, you look like an angel out of place

At this downtown devil's bar

Do you wanna dance girl

You said no thanks

And I watched you drift away

Well you had your chance

You could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one

For the rest of my life

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

Knowin' you could've been the one

If I come back here I might see you again

And maybe you'd say yes

But it's a losin' game I'm tryin' to win

And I can only guess

Do you have somebody (watchin')

Who watches you

As you let down your hair

By the light of the moon

You could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one

For the rest of my life

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

Knowin' you could've been the one

Knowin' you could've been the one

Where do you go when the night ends

Are you just a dream that fades into gray

Visions of you will not leave me alone

Why did you have to turn away

You could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one

For the rest of my life

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

Knowin' you could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one

For the rest of my life

I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done

Knowin' you could've been the one ...
