I sat and watched her,
when she walked on down the aisle
behind a thin white veil, she gave me
an ol’ familiar smile
she got herself a good man, his name was Jim
as she took her rightful place, along side of him
I knew from the start, this was gonna break my heart

It should’ve been me........With my loving arms around her
It should’ve been me.......saying I’m so glad I found her
and I wonder, if she knows how much I care.........
that it could’ve been me
yeah.....it should’ve been me......standing there

We fell in love in high school
yeah, we were barely seventeen
Stars fell that summer night
when she gave herself to me
She looked so lovely, but it don’t feel right
cause I always thought that I would be that lucky guy
just loving her, for the rest of my life

It should’ve been me........With my loving arms around her
It should’ve been me..........saying I’m so glad I found her
and I wonder if she knows how much I care.....
that it could’ve been me,
yeah.....it should’ve been me..........standing there

The champagne and the first song, were just so bittersweet
I told myself it’s finally over now
then she shot me one last glance
as he took her hand to dance

It should’ve been me........With my loving arms around her
It should’ve been me..........saying I’m so glad I found her
and I wonder if she knows how much I care....
That it could’ve been me..........
Yeah it should’ve been me.....standing there
Yeah, it should’ve been me
It Should’ve been me
