Things That Might Have Been - Roy Acuff

When the sun has gone to sleep so tired and weary\n‘Round my heart an empty loneliness creeps in\nAnd I die a million times before the morning sun rise\nWhen I think of all the things that might have been\nPerhaps there might have been a garden filled with flowers\nWhere sweet nature and the world are all akin\nWelcome contentedness and with peace are always filling the air\nOh my Darling, all the things that might have been\nPerhaps there might have been a cute little baby\nWith an angel smile and chubby fingers ten\nAnd with stubby little toes that always wiggle with gleam\nOh my Darling, all the things that might have been\nMay be Darling, it is best that we are parting\n‘Round my heart an earnest prayer keeps within\nThat you always find real happiness where ‘er you go\nAnd I’ll find comfort in the things that might have been
