It Could Have Been Love

IT COULD HAVE BEEN LOVE

HOW IS ONE TO KNOW IF LOVE IS OVER
WHEN HEARTS HAVE PASSED THE POINT OF NO RETURN
LOOKING IN YOUR EYES I WONDER
WHY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO LEARN

IT COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG OR RIGHT
AS DIFFERENT AS DAY AND NIGHT
IT COULD HAVE BEEN RAIN OR SHINE
AS LONG AS YOU WERE MINE
IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST A WHIM
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME NOT HIM
IT COULD HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING WE WANTED
IT COULD HAVE BEEN LOVE

MAYBE I'M TOO YOUNG TO KNOW THE ANSWERS
WHO'S TO SAY IF ANYBODY KNOWS
IF EVERY QUESTION CHANGES WITH THE CHANCES
SO DO ALL THE ANSWERS I SUPPOSE

IT COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG OR RIGHT
AS DIFFERENT AS DAY AND NIGHT
IT COULD HAVE BEEN RAIN OR SHINE
AS LONG AS YOU WERE MINE
IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST A WHIM
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME NOT HIM
IT COULD HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING WE WANTED
IT COULD HAVE BEEN LOVE

WHY WAS I PRETENDING
I COULD TAKE YOUR HEART AND MAKE IT MINE
YOUR HEART IS YOURS TO SHARE
GIVEN TIME

IT COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG OR RIGHT
AS DIFFERENT AS DAY AND NIGHT
IT COULD HAVE BEEN RAIN OR SHINE
AS LONG AS YOU WERE MINE
IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST A WHIM
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ME NOT HIM
IT COULD HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING WE WANTED
IT COULD HAVE BEEN LOVE
