Could've been  Tiffany

The flowers you gave me are just about to die
When I think about what could've been
It makes me want to cry

The sweet words you whispered didn't mean a thing
I guess our song is over as we begin to sing

*Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
Could've been my lover
Every day of my life
Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
I'll never hold what could've been
On a cold and lonely night

The memories of our loving
Still linger in the air
Like the fainted scent of your roses
They stay with me everywhere

Every time I get my hopes up
They always seem to fall
Still what could've been
Is better than what could never be at all, at all (*)

Could've been so beautiful
Could've been so right
You can't hold what could've been
On a cold and lonely night
No, no at all

How could I hold what could've been
On a cold and lonely night ?
曾經可以  提芬妮

你送給我的花快凋謝了
當我回首往事雲煙
不禁使我泫然欲泣

你輕吐的甜言蜜語毫無意義
我想,我倆的歌還沒唱就已經結束了

曾經可以如此美麗
曾經可以如此絕對
曾經可以是我的戀人
在我生命中的每一天
曾經可以如此美麗
曾經可以如此絕對
我永遠握不住那過往雲煙
在淒冷孤寂的夜裡

我倆愛的回憶
依然在天空迴盪
就像你的玫瑰散發出淡淡的香味
時時刻刻都跟隨著我

每一次希望颺起
卻總是又跌到谷底
曾經擁有
畢竟比不曾擁有過更美麗

曾經可以如此美麗
曾經可以如此絕對
你握不住那過往雲煙
在淒冷孤寂的夜裡
不,永遠不能

我怎樣才能握住那過往雲煙?
在淒冷孤寂的夜裡
