It Might Have Been

It Might Have Been - Neil Young

The saddest words

Of tongue or pen

Are these four words

It might have been

We had big dreams

We made big plans

How could they slip

Right through our hands

Instead of tearing

Our own hands to pieces

Why don't we try

To right what we've done wrong

It's not too late

To set things straight

Let's never say

It might have been

Instead of tearing

Our own hands to pieces

Why don't we try

To right what we've done wrong

It's not too late

To set things straight

Let's never say

It might have been

It might have been
