Kris Kristofferson Lyrics
"The Things I Might Have Been"

(Robert B. Sherman - Richard M. Sherman)

I might have been a helpless soul
With nothing much in store
I might have been without a gold
Just dream and nothing more,

I might have known my life alone
But that's where you came in
Your lovin' arms have saved me
From the things I might have been.

I might have been a kind
Who roam a stranger everywhere
Or one of those for stay at home
With no one's lips to share.

But your sweet kiss has changed
All this and made my life begin
Keep lovin' me don't let me be
The things I might have been...
