I was so excited when you asked if I could go |
|
But mom said I'd have to ask my daddy |
|
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no |
|
But he smiled and said, "Let mama get you ready." |
|
In your cotton shirt and faded jeans, you came for me |
|
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear |
|
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car |
|
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair |
|
That's the way it could have been |
|
Chorus: |
|
Oh, that's the way it should have been |
|
If I had met you way back then |
|
That's the way it would have been |
|
I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white |
|
And you wore a suit instead of faded jeans |
|
Our wedding day was perfect and we loved away the night |
|
Life for us was filled with lots of dreams |
|
We bought a house upon a hill outside of town |
|
And two young people finally settled in |
|
And you just won't believe the little children running 'round |
|
And they pick yellow daisies now and then |
|
Chorus: |
|
And that's the way it could have been |
|
Oh, that's the way it should have been |
|
If I had met you way back then |
|
That's the way it would have been |
|

That's the way it could have been |
