things i might have been

i might have been a helpless soul

with nothing much in store

i might have been without a goal

just dreams and nothing more

i might have known my life alone

but that's where you came in

your loving arms have saved me from

the things i might have been

i might have been the kind who roams

a stranger everywhere

just one of those poor stay-at-homes

with no one's lips to share

but your sweet kiss has changed all this

and made my life begin

so keep loving me don't let me be

the things i might have been

the things i might have been
