Philip Morrison Singing His Original "What Might Have Been"

"What Might Have Been" - Music and Lyrics by Philip Morrison Copyright 2008

Lyric

A

We first met in autumn splendor
You and he still shared one name
Though sparks struck tinder
I put out the flame
Put out what might have been

A

I could sense your bonds were bow-tied
With one jerk, they'd come un-done
To sink so low I'd taint the joy I'd won
I'd taint what might have been

B

In my dreams, we hadn't met
Til your soul was free
You'd left him or better yet
Your life's one love was saved for me.

A'

You and he went on together
I delayed, ear to the ground
Seemed like I'd never
Hear that you had found
He was the worst royal pain yet to be crowned
Then when the word came
I was westward-bound
I longed for Fall and then
I pondered Might-Have-Been
Today I dream what might have been
