What Could Have Been (Original) by Jon Manongdo

I was inspired, so I picked up my ukulele and started jammin', and this is what came out. This is the first song I've ever written on my uke. :)

For a reflection on this song, visit http://www.jonmanongdo.com

It's about not having the courage to tell a girl just how you really feel about her and then pondering on just what could have been.

Enjoy!


What Could Have Been
by Jon Manongdo

Every time I see you
I wonder what could have been
If I had just told you
All my feelings within
What if, I was the one, that you've needed so

I could have shown you the truth of love
when you were down I would have picked you up
I lost my chance so I guess we'll never know

Refrain:
What could have been, what could have been
what could have been between us
I guess we'll never know

Just lying here
wondering, just wondering
what could have been, what could have been
had I just told you all that was on my heart
I could have been the man you've been seeking all your life
I would have loved you, would have loved you right
I guess I'll never know

Couldn't muster the courage
Couldn't move past Go
Could have, would have, should have
Now I guess I'll never know
