It Could Have Been Ten Years Ago - The Oak Ridge Boys

When the candle at my table

Cast it’s light upon your face

And suddenly I recognised you

Well it took my breath away

And for an hour you were mine again

And it was like a dream

Holding hands across the table

And the years.

You had stepped out of the darkness

Like a ghost out of my past

But it seems like only yesterday

Since I had seen you last

I was caught up in your smile

And the way you made me feel

It was like a night from ten years ago

Yes it could have been ten years ago.

From the trembling of my hands

It could have been ten years ago

Then you were gone and once again I am alone.

Crying for a love with you that never was

How good it could have been ten years ago.

Well you ask all about me

And you told me all your plans

And though you never mentioned him

I saw the ring upon your hand

Oh but I couldn’t help it Lord I fell in love again

Just the way I fell ten years ago.

Yes it could have been ten years ago.

From the trembling of my hands

It could have been ten years ago

Then you were gone and once again I am alone.

Crying for a love with you that never was

How good it could have been ten years ago

Yes it could have been ten years ago.
