You Could Have Been a Lady - April Wine

Out into the world With all the confidence and grace that luck instills Each and every girl With dresses pressed and faces fresh as daffodils This could be us but those were not the cards that we were dealt You're doomed to be a Kennedy When you could have been a Roosevelt Out into the world (out into the world) You're sailing into life upon a glassy sea Flags and sails unfurled (flags and sails unfurled) What must it be to be so young and whole and free This could be us but we're the grave at which our fathers knelt You're doomed to be a Kennedy When you could have been a Roosevelt And we're glad We can see in them versions of the life that we almost had Out into the world Where certain things will always be beyond our scope Just to be a girl (just to be a girl) With Jean Nate and Pink Camay and Yardley Soap This could be us but there was just a trust we never felt It's hard to be a Kennedy When you could have been a Roosevelt It's hard to be a Kennedy When you could have been a Roosevelt

We were so close yet so far away I'd reach out, you'd be gone Moments that still talk my breath away There's so much more to life than loving you You don't need me, no... I... can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams It could have been you my love (where are you now) Oh I... still wonder if you remember the night It could have been you Time washes over, memories I can't look back no more Change has forsaken, our promises There's someone else for you to hold again So please stop your crying I... can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams It could have been you my love (where are you now) Oh I... still wonder if you remember the night It could have been you Remember, remember, girl I remember I... can't wait all my life, on a street of broken dreams It could have been you my love (where are you now) Oh I... still wonder if you remember the night It could have been you (where are you now) Should have been you my love (where are you now) It could have been you my love, (where are you now) Remember... remember... remember

Blue eyes Oh, they seem so easy to love White lies Always seem so easy to brush under the rug Myself and I We were born in a fiery rage, not out of love Oh, why? Oh, why? Mama, please listen Something is missing I don't feel the same in my skin I wake in the evening And sleep through the morning I feel as though I'll never win Was it the TV who raised me to go slightly crazy? The words I would hear every day The books I was reading taught me that feeling This way is okay Oh God, if I asked for blessing Would you send it on my way? 'Cause applause ignites a strange feeling And it doesn't seem to fade Mark my words, I will find a way To feel complete, do whatever it takes I will drink every drink, walk every road I will find another me and I will fall in love Mama, please listen Something is missing I don't feel the same in my skin I wake in the evening And sleep through the morning I feel as though I'll never win Was it the TV who raised me to go slightly crazy? The words I would hear every day The books I was reading taught me that feeling This way is okay
