Could've Been Me - Billy Ray Cyrus

Could’ve Been Me

— written by Reed Nielsen & Monty Powell

I hear you just got married,

Took a month long honeymoon,

And you were all smiles at the wedding,

You cried when you kissed the groom.

I got no invitation.

I guess the mailman didn’t bring it to me.

But I see the whole thing in slow motion

Every night as I try to sleep.

My buddy John said you looked real pretty

And you acted like you were in love.

He said the preacher asked for objections

And he thought about standin' up.

I told John he must have been crazy

'Cause you were just about to say I do.

He just gave me a wink and said all he could think

Was it could’ve been me with you.

CHORUS:

It could’ve been me

Standin' there with you.

It could’ve been me

And my dreams comin' true.

But those dreams move on

If you wait too long.

It took me 'til now to see

It could’ve been me.

I don’t guess I ever told you

That I went out and bought you a ring.

I even carried it around in my pocket

Waitin' to say the right thing.

I pulled it out the other day,

But the diamond had lost its shine.

Well, I know how it feels 'cause my eyes grow dim

When I think you could have been mine.

REPEAT CHORUS

I know I called you just in time to be too late.

You know dreams move on if you wait too long.

It took me 'til now to see that

REPEAT CHORUS

It could’ve been me

It could’ve been me

It could’ve been me

It could’ve been me
