she was the one
who caught the bouquet
the night of her best friend`s wedding day
she was the one
who caught the bouquet
a token that God must want it that way
and on the quest for her Mr. Right
she said, `I do` where the lonely give in
they were married on the way, and oh,
nothing`s sadder than the words,
`it might have been`
he was the one
but promises dull
when Jesus becomes expendable
expecting to find
what never was there
but doesn`t it still beat solitaire?
she`d heard that time turns desire to love
and that the Lord had it all in control
so marry two half people, and oh,
shouldn`t one make the other whole?
swallowing hard, `cause you knew better before
desperate for someone to blame
and does it matter that he`s gone again?
and nothing`s sadder than the words,
`it might have been`
she was the one
the bouquet deceived
believer who never could believe
and now she`s the one
who`s lonely again
she`s wondering how it might`ve been
