Should've Been - Abbey Lincoln

There’s a sound comes from livin'

Somewhere in the past

When the grass was greener

And we found true love at last

It’s the sound of sorry

Lookin' yonder with regret

Sorry 'cause of what you got

And what you didn’t get

Could’ve been another song

Would’ve been a sing along

Could’ve been, would’ve been

Should’ve been

Could’ve been another world

Where true thoughts of love unfurl

Could’ve been, would’ve been

Should’ve been

But here we are, we are here

Here’s to life, give a cheer

Here am I, here are we Here’s to you, here’s to me After all is said and done

There was laughter, we had fun

It was life, it was love

Should’ve been

But here we are, we are here

Here’s to life, give a cheer

Here am I, here are we Here’s to you, here’s to me After all is said and done

There was laughter, we had fun

It was life, it was love

Should’ve been

It was life, it was love

Should’ve been
