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 laugh

Oh, the way her eyes would dance

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 up

I took her by the hand

And a memory in miniature said

Mommy, who's that man?

Should've seen her little smile

Should've heard her little laugh

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 all mine

Would've been mine
