Story Behind The Song
An unrealized love of my life shows back up, married and with kids. I am lost in the sorrow of knowing she could have been mine had I just approached her and struck up a simple conversation. Had I not been afraid of the rejection and loss that comes with the risk of following your heart.

Lyrics
That day I first held your hand
Still dream 'bout every now and then
Standin' toe to toe, my heart beating so
Could have happened had I just said hello
That day we both said I do
Vows made then I gently kissed you
Small bands of gold your face all aglow
Could have happened had I just said hello
[Chorus]
Every Tuesday afternoon I see you sittin' in the park
Legs crossed just reading a book
Never found the nerve to say hello to you
So my dreams could one day come true
Years have rolled on through
They appear to have been pretty good to you
See you with some guy two kids in tow
Could be me had I just said hello
[Chorus]
Think about what could have been
How that guy could be me 'stead of him
Sittin' all alone, feelin' pretty low
Could have happened had I just said hello
[Tag]
Could have happened had I just said hello
