Things Might Have Been So Diff'rent 1935 Vs2

My days go by in meditation,
Just reminiscing now and then,

And while I sigh in meditation,
I find myself saying again and again:

Things might have been so diff'rent,
diff'rent as night and day,

if you hadn't said: "I love you,"
just to have something to say,

Things might have been so diff'rent,
Right from the very start,

But you only wanted kisses,
Lips without any heart.

Do roses ever remember,
December may find them gone?

So why should sweethearts remember,
That love's little ember
may fade with the dawn?

Things might have been so diff'rent,
We'd still be friends today,

If you hadn't said "I love you,"
Just to have something to say.

Things might have been so diff'rent,
diff'rent as night and day,

if you hadn't said: "I love you,"
just to have something to say,

Things might have been so diff'rent,
Right from the very start,

But you only wanted kisses,
Lips without any heart.

Do roses ever remember,
December may find them gone?

So why should sweethearts remember,
That love's little ember
may fade with the dawn?

Things might have been so diff'rent,
We'd still be friends today,

If you hadn't said "I love you,"
Just to have something to say.

We didn't look into the future,
We only took what love would send,

An open book was our future,
It started so lovely but how did it end?

Things might have been so diff'rent,
diff'rent as night and day,

if you hadn't said: "I love you,"
just to have something to say,

Things might have been so diff'rent,
Right from the very start,

But you only wanted kisses,
Lips without any heart.

Do roses ever remember,
December may find them gone?

So why should sweethearts remember,
That love's little ember
may fade with the dawn?

Things might have been so diff'rent,
We'd still be friends today,

If you hadn't said "I love you,"
Just to have something to say.

Things might have been so diff'rent,
diff'rent as night and day,

if you hadn't said: "I love you,"
just to have something to say,

Things might have been so diff'rent,
Right from the very start,

But you only wanted kisses,
Lips without any heart.

Do roses ever remember,
December may find them gone?

So why should sweethearts remember,
That love's little ember
may fade with the dawn?

Things might have been so diff'rent,
We'd still be friends today,

If you hadn't said "I love you,"
Just to have something to say.
