It Could Have Been Ten Years Ago

When the candle at my table
Cast it's light upon your face
And suddenly I recognised you
Well it took my breath away
And for an hour you were mine again
And it was like a dream
Holding hands across the table
And the years

You had stepped out of the darkness
Like a ghost out of my past
But it seems like only yesterday
Since I had seen you last
I was caught up in your smile
And the way you made me feel
It was like a night from ten years ago
Yes it could have been ten years ago

From the trembling of my hands
It could have been ten years ago
Then you were gone and once again I am alone
Crying for a love with you that never was
How good it could have been ten years ago

Well you ask all about me
And you told me all your plans
And though you never mentioned him
I saw the ring upon your hand
Oh but I couldn't help it Lord I fell in love again
Just the way I fell ten years ago
Yes it could have been ten years ago

From the trembling of my hands
It could have been ten years ago
Then you were gone and once again I am alone
Crying for a love with you that never was
How good it could have been ten years ago
Yes it could have been ten years ago
