Wynette, Tammy - That's The Way It Could Have Been Lyrics
I was so excited when you asked if I could go
But mama said I'd have to ask my daddy
I met him at the front door so afraid that he'd say no
But he smiled and said let mama get you ready
And the gingham dress was all I had to wear
With a dollar in your pocket and a borrowed car
You picked a yellow daisy for my hair
And that's the way it could have been
That's the way it should have been
If I had met you way back then
That's the way it would have been
I put away my gingham for a pretty dress of white
Our wedding day was perfect and we loved away the night
Life for us was filled with lots of dreams
We bought a house upon a hill outside of town
And two young people finally settled in
And you just won't believe the little children running round
And they pick yellow daisies now and then
And that's the way it could have been
Oh that's the way it should have been
If I had met you way back then
That's the way it would have been
That's the way it could have been

No othet voice comes close . Mote emotion in one little finger than any other female vocalist
God I love this song
Great song.
the best country song ever
this is the most beautiful country song ever written -- no doubt about it

Kenny Rogers and Dottie West version is far better.
You're crazy nobody can top Tammy Wynette.

in one lyric "he smiled and said let mama get you ready " ---if this was a battle rap she could just drop the mic and walk off --it would be all over
