WHO KNOWS WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
>From the Broadway Musical "Subways Are For Sleeping" (1961)
(Music: Jule Styne / Lyrics: Betty Comden & Adolph Green)


Doris Day - 1961



There was he and there was I
Thrown together just by chance
If he hadn't said "Goodbye"
Why let such thoughts begin

There was something on his mind
Was it possibly romance
Since he didn't stay behind
Why let such thoughts begin

He's a man of perfect taste
Tastes that all agree with mine
I could swear we'd choose the same good books
Paintings and wine

Supposing he should come back through the door
Would my heart begin to dance
Since he's gone forevermore
Why let such thoughts begin

And yet it might have been
Who knows what might have been
