Met her when I was 17 one summer and fell in love. She moved to New York with her family. Then, 5 years later, we crossed paths in my town but stayed together for only a short time. She had to go away and take care of her sick father. Years passed and no word. Finally, I let her go and I moved on but only in my mind and not my heart. 26 years would come and go before I would once again see her beautiful face. Fate once again would bring us together and this time forever. Although we missed a lot of years our hearts never forgot and when we met again 5 years ago, it was like we had never been parted. Now, we are to marry next year and it is both a blessing and a miracle that we ended up with each other.
This is such a beautiful song I cry so many tears. Love really does hurt when you thank what might have been .but I know it will never be .I will never forget that special person that was once in my life are so I thought.I gave him my hold heart .but he never gave me his. it hurt to die broken hearted.but R.P. Will always have my heart.not a day goes by I wonder what might have been ...2020
If this song, and especially this video, don't bring a tear to your eye and a lump in your throat.....then you've never had a true "what might've been"....
I was 16 years old in a small Texas town. She was also 16. My parents forbade me from seeing her, she was Mexican you see and in the 1950's Texas it was Taboo to date out of race. Soon after our forced break up I joined the military and her family moved back to Mexico. 20 years later while on vacation in Mexico, I saw a beautiful Latina selling seashells on the beach as I approached her, my heart sunk and I almost fainted, it was Maria, the girl I once loved. She smiled and started to weep. As luck would have it, neither of us were married at the time. A year later we were married and we now have 6 children and 12 grandkids! This song reminds me of our love. True love is real under the stars.
I guess I was a lucky one I married my high school sweetheart and last Oct 2019 was our 40th anniversary, and still love her like I just met her and will till God calls.
