Story Behind the Song
Benson came over to Nick's house one night long long ago... and asked if he could record a song just him playin acoustic and singing. then he quickly laid down a couple harmonies on the choruses.
Lyrics
I Could Have Loved You
She’s got herself inside my heart and there she’s gonna stay until that day
When all my worries will be gone and I can sing this song as I look upon her face
Every time the night comes I feel the pain and then the sun rises it starts again
And I feel her inside my heart and in my mind and there’s no place to hide
(chorus)
I could have loved you
I could have held your hand
I could have had you
I could have been your man
To you, it seems we’re coming undone
To me, it feels we’ve just begun
All the life in me dies out and colors turn to blue when I can’t be with you
Like rivers in a time of drought, I’m helpless due without the mystery of you
Midnight, she offers and I’m sold, suddenly my silver turns to gold
Even though she isn’t here, I know she feels all right as she looks on me tonight
Chorus
I know I can’t escape, she’s locked love’s door on me and she threw away the key
But she’ll be back someday to open up the gate and let me free
Yesterday I thought my dreams came true, now today my heart lay broke in two
And I’ve fallen in love with someone I can’t see, she’s wonderful to me
Chorus
