[Verse 1]
I dream it in pieces
A house with your names on the door
Two chairs by the table
And my shoes by the floor
I was small in that daydream
You were both at the stove
No missing, no leaving
Just a life I could know
[Pre-Chorus]
If you would of stayed together
If you would of raised me right
I keep that scene inside me
Like a lamp I light
[Chorus]
The life we could have had
The life we could have had
Would have been beautiful
Would have been us, all three
The life we could have had
The life we could have had
Now you are gone from here
But I still hold the dream
[Verse 2]
I picture the weekends
Your laugh in the hallway
Hands full of groceries
And my name in your say
I imagine the hard days
But we’d make it through
A table still set for us
A small world, warm and true
[Pre-Chorus]
If you would of stayed together
If you would of raised me close
I’d wear that love like sunlight
Wherever I go
[Chorus]
The life we could have had
The life we could have had
Would have been beautiful
Would have been us, all three
The life we could have had
The life we could have had
Now you are gone from here
But I still hold the dream
[Bridge]
Maybe the next time we meet
We’ll finally get it right
No more empty questions
No more lost nights
Maybe the next time we meet
You’ll know I still believed
I kept that little future
Alive in me
[Final Chorus]
The life we could have had
The life we could have had
Would have been beautiful
Would have been us, all three
The life we could have had
The life we could have had
Now you are gone from here
But I still hold the dream
Love you both
Love you both
Till the next time we meet
Till the next time we meet
