what might have been

Somewhere there's another land
Different from the world below
Far more mercifully planned
Than the cruel place we know

Innocence and peace are there
All is good that is desired
Faces there are always fair
Love grows never old nor tired

We shall never find this lovely land of Might Have Been
I will never be your king nor you shall be my queen
Days may and pass and years may pass
And seas may lie between
We shall never find this lovely land of Might Have Been

(The Land of Might Have Been-Ivor Novello)
