IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT STORY
D Prince / Addy Rogers

as recorded by Buddy Clark
with Mitchell Ayres & his Orchestra

Jan 24th 1947 New York



It might have been a different story,
The sweetest story ever told,
And it doesn't seem fair
That our love affair
Fell through!

There could have been a different ending,
The story should have closed that way;
If we both could have cared,
We both would have shared
My heart!

Strange, everyone could see it,
How our romance had to fall;
I failed to see the warning,
Or the writing on the wall!

It might have been a different story,
The sweetest story ever told,
And I'll wait for the day
You'll see it that way,
Sweetheart.

Strange, everyone could see it,
How our romance had to fall;
I failed to see the warning,
Or the writing on the wall!

It might have been a different story,
The sweetest story ever told,
And I'll wait for the day
You'll see it my way,
Sweetheart.
