Days that used to be
The coming days that never were
But might have beenThese are the missing days
We could have been with
Could have loved one another
And raised our kidInstead of living apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't metWay down in the down along
The brighter path with Remlin rose
They're like frankincense so much
Days that could have been
Might have been but never were
Things just didn't work that way
I don't know why for sureInstead we live apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't metWe are not who we were
We can't go back again
Back to that vanished year
Back to the might have beenThese are the days
We must live instead
Each gone our separate ways
Wondering how it might have been
While we both live apart
Torn up with regret
Living with strangers
We haven't metLiving apart learning to forget of
Of loving others we haven't met
