Every now and then she thinks of him
And every now and then she wonders
How it could have been, if he had only stayed
Way back when.

And every now and then she thinks of him
And every now and then she wonders
Who she might have been, if he had only stayed
Way back when.

She could have been a teacher or a poet
She could have been a rock star or a queen
She didn't have the strength inside to know it
So she settled for something in between

Looking back is always 20 / 20
But it can leave you mighty empty
When you should have seen
How it could have been
Way back when

Chorus/ instrumental

So every now and then she thinks of you
And she remembers well
All the things that she went through
To make her who she is, right now
