It Would Have Been Wonderful
Just given the chance
It might have been bumpy at first
But it would have turned into a dance
A miracle thing like the spring
As you feel new beginnings begin
Only wonderful is what it would have been
It would have had character
It would have had spine
And over the course of the years
Maybe tears, maybe hers, maybe mine
It would have meant work, love needs work
Or its no longer love that youre in
Oh but wonderful is what it would have been
Walking in the rain
Watching summer weekends fly
Missing that last train
Her retying my tie
But so much for miracles
They happen in plays
In life people meet, people touch, people think
Then go their separate ways
And give up the joy thats as splendid as anything under the sun
It would have been wonderful
It would have been wonderful
It would have been wonderful
Had it only begun
