Background:
This is from an RP. The character I play is very happily married and devoted to her husband, but she meets someone that she is strongly attracted to, and it's mutual. Fortunately, both characters behave themselves, but the song acknowledges what might have been.
I have no idea what the tune would be like, but I can easily imagine this being sung by the Andrews Sisters.
Play it, Sam!
I Could Have Loved You
How odd to meet you
So late in the game.
If I'd met you first
Would things be the same?
Our paths, they crossed,
And suddenly,
I have a chance
I didn't foresee
Chorus:
In another world,
I could have loved you.
Another time and place,
I see your face,
And I know I could have loved you.
Do you wonder
What might have been,
If things changed,
If time changed,
If worlds changed?
In another world,
I could have loved you.
Another time and place,
I see your face,
And I know I could have loved you.
It's just a dream - a fantasy,
And "you and I" will never be.
But you opened my eyes
And made me realize
I could have loved you.
