It Could Have Been Me:Sami Jo. #31 Easy Listening and #46 on BB Hot 100 on MGM SOUTH Records in 1974. #1. Organ music softly playing, sounds of people's whispers saying, she's a pretty bride, you're such a lucky man. I smile and blink the tears away, and find the proper words to say, while aching with a pain they just can't understand. It could have been me, wearing that dress of white. It could have been me, holding you close tonight. It could have been me, giving your children life. Why can't it be me, who'll be your wife? #2. Now, we're gathered, all together, you vow your love, for worse or better. Lift her veil and kiss her, with a tender love. Then leading her, back up the aisle, I try meet your eyes and smile, but all the time, my heart is breaking, so. It could have been me, wearing that dress of white. It could have been me, holding you close tonight. It could have been me, giving your children life. Why can't it be me, who'll be your wife? #3. I toast the lovely bride and groom, and as you leave the noisy room, they say it's my turn to catch the bride's bouquet. And as the crowd goes streaming past and someone says, he's hers at last, I hold my pretty flowers and slowly walk away. Could this be a dream, will I be wearin' that dress of white? Could it really be me, who'd be holdin' you close tonight? Please say that it's me, who'd be giving your children life. Wake me from this dream, take me for your wife. It's only a dream, I'll be wearing that dress of white. It was just a bad dream, I'll be holding you close tonight. I'm proud that it's me, who will be giving your children life. Thank God, that it's me, who'll be your wife. It's only a dream, I'll be wearing that dress of white. It was just a bad dream, I'll be holding you close tonight. I'm proud that it's me, who will be giving your children life. Thank God, that it's me, who'll be your wife..(Fade.) A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
