You Could’ve Been the One Songtext
von Dan Seals

There′s a bright light, it's shining in your face
You can′t even see me at all
Oh, you look like an angel and you're out of place
At this downtown devil's ball

Do you wanna dance, girl?
You say, "No, thanks"
And I watch you drift away
Well, you had your chance

You could have been the one
Tonight, you could have been the only one
For the rest of my life
I′ll be dreamin′ of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could have been the one

If I come back here, I might see you again
And maybe you′d say yes
But it's a losing game that I′m tryin' to win
And I can only guess


Do you have somebody
Who watches you as you let down your hair
By the light of the moon?

You could have been the one
Tonight, you could have been the only one
For the rest of my life
I′ll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could have been the one
Knowin′ you could have been the one
Knowin′ you could have been the one

Now do you wanna dance, girl?
You say, "No, thanks"
And I watch you drift away
Well, you had your chance

You could have been the one
Tonight, you could have been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin′ of you when this dance is done
Knowin' you could have been the one


Tonight, you could have been the only one
For the rest of my life
I′ll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin′ you could have been the one

Tonight, you could have been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreamin' of you when this dance is done
Knowin′ you could have been the one
