She Could've Been Mine

I remember summer

Of nineteen ninety three

She was tall and blond and tan and man
She was all in love with me

She started talking about our future

And it scared me half to death

So I ran away but to this day
Her memory takes my breath

Should've seen her smile

Should've heard her lie

Oh, the way her eyes would danced
When she brushed her hair back

She could've been mine

She would've been in another place and time

And now and then, I go there in my mind

She would've been, she should've been mine

She could've been mine

Home for the holidays

A friend's party, New Year's eve

I turned around and found familiar

Blue eyes staring back at me

A little girl came running down

I took her by the hand

And a memory and Incomprehensible

Mommy, who's that man ?

Should've seen her little smile

Should've heard her little lie

Oh, the way her eyes just danced
When she brushed her hair back

She could've been mine

She would've been in another place and time

Now and then, I go there in my mind

She would've been, she should've been

She could've been mine, mine, mine

In another place and time

Mine, mine, mine, could've been mine

Should've been, would've been
Could've been mine, mine

Would've been mine
