I could have been a sailor, I could have been a cook A real live lover, could have been a book I could have been a signpost, I could have been a clock As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock

I could have been your pillar, could have been your door I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more Could have been your statue, I could have been your friend A whole long lifetime could have been the end
I could have been yours so true I would be, I should be through and through I could have been One of these things first
