It Should've Happened That Way

(album: Neal McCoy - 1996)

The moment you came home the other night
I could tell that something wasn't right
I ask you what the silence is about
Then all I did was listen while you poured your heart out

And then your eyes looked into mine
And we saw forever was right there all the time
When I held you in my arms it said all there was to say
It should've happened that way, it should've happened that way

Woke up again this morning way too soon
Wish I was fast asleep and still with you
I'd give anything if I could feel how I did when I was dreaming
I could've sworn that it was real

And when your eyes looked into mine
And we saw forever was right there all the time
When I held you in my arms it said all there was to say
It should've happened that way, it should've happened that way

If we could have this chance again
I only wish that we could be what we might have been

I should've never let you leave
I could've made you stay
It should've happened that way, yeah, yeah
It should've happened that way
