It Might Have Been Lyrics

Vern Gosdin It Might Have Been

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…
