I Think it Would Have Been Great
I think about what could have been
but it wasn't, was it, Ben?
We were the best, the real test....
a delusion, an illusion
Maybe I need a transfusion?
My dream you
and your real you have come loose
they are two different men
It could have been terrific, buit it was obtuse.
if they had been the same, we would have had a lot of play
but they weren’t, were they? Not even one single day!
We weren’t the same, no ding-a-ling
We had that brief thing
Not even a fling
It was not the Bogie/Bacall love affair in the air
But wouldn’t it have been great. my potential mate
if it could have been? Right Ben? Right Ben?
