Could have been this evening light
Melancholy sky
I got memories of my life
In my heart and eyes
Could have been the best
Could have been the worst of times
The meaning of these images
Keeps turning in my mind
Random feelings or sacred meanings
Could have been just the hand of fate
Could have been time just didn't wait
Thought it all was a big mistake
But now I'm seeing, believing
That through all of my life
It could have been You, was it You
Were they just wasted moments
Filled with too much pain
Or the flash and the thunder
Of some cleansing rain
Hurtful strangers
Or the hands of angels
Could have been just the hand of fate
Could have been time just didn't wait
Thought it all was a big mistake
But now I'm seeing, believing
That through all of my life
It could have been You, was it You
How can Your knowing eyes
See so far beyond these days
How can I ever learn to wait
For the wisdom of Your ways
But I'm seeing, believing
That through all of my life
Yes through all of my life
It could have been You, loving You
It could have been... You
