While listening: You are going to listen to one of my favourite songs by Lighthouse Family. It's called 'I could have loved you'. Listen carefully and fill in the gaps.
Far too many things have come between
Where we are now, where we, could have been
Sometimes a ____________, comes once
And then it goes, right out the window
Now the truth, shines through
I could have loved you...
Chorus
Now I know what a terrible mistake I´ve made
Now I know, this ___________ still around
Now I know just what a selfish little __________ I've been
Now I know for sure this love will never go
Hey
There must have been a way that, I could have loved you more
Now I know, there must have been a day when, I could have loved you more
Far too many times I __________ you __________
With the ____________ , of a typical clown
Selfish through and through
I told more than a few _____________ lies, without a grain of truth
But you could see, right through, I could have loved you
Chorus
Now I know, there must have been a way that, I could have you loved more
Now I know, there must have been a day when, I could have loved you more
Now I know what a terrible mistake I´ve made
Now I know, this ____________ still around
Now I know just what a selfish little ____________ I've been
Now I know for sure this love will never go
Hey
There must have been a way that, I could have loved you more
Now I know, there must have been a day when, I could have you loved more
Now I know, there must have been a way that, I could have you loved more
