Vern Gosdin - It Might Have Been lyrics

rate me

Sometimes at night when everyone is sleepin’

For me it seems sleep just won’t come

My mind goes back and I get that same sweet feelin’

When I had you and love was young

The saddest words from lip or pen

Are the words … “Oh, it might have been”

If my dreams could only be

If you were here with me

But they’re like mist in the wind

And saddest words from lips or pen

”It might have been”

When mornin’ comes and night is soon forgotten

As the cares of the day takes control

And I’m busy with the new life that I’m livin’

Never letting your memory take a hold

Then I heard an old song we used to sing

And it started all over again

Your memory keeps comin’ to haunt me

I heard those words “It might have been”

The saddest words from lips or pen

Are the words … “Oh, it might have been”

If my dreams could only be

If you were here with me

They’re like mist in the wind

And saddest words from lips or pen

”It might have been”

Mmmm… Mmmm… Mmmm…
