That breathless moment before the plunge...

Lyrics

ALMOST LOVE © 2012 Ken Kahn

You were the main attraction in my dream last night and when you
Saw me on the street today It seemed to get you high
You wore the same clothes -- and I thought that that was strange -
And a slow elusive smile reminding me of an encounter I won't name
It's just been seven days since we've been more than friends and I
Cannot count the times that you've appeared in my mind.
The heavens they illuminate someone in love
Do I get this dizzy feeling cause I'm dazzled by that light from up above?

Almost love, almost saying the words aloud. This is
Almost love, yeah, I'm wondering if that's what I'm feeling now
Almost love, and I feel I could shoot the moon, or am I
Just on the brink of speaking too soon?

I couldn't say I have a type that turns me on
Just a light inside that glows when the attraction is strong
There's no denying that your hand, it fits in mine
And the way our shoulders touch and yes, the way our hips align, and so on
But my reflection on this easily derails
When I try to think in logic about all love entails
I get distracted by some movement of your hands
And imagination stirs and I am asking you to dance, and thinking:

Almost love, almost saying the words aloud. This is
Almost love, yeah, I'm wondering if that's what you're feeling now
Almost love, do you feel you could shoot the moon? Are you
Just on the brink of speaking too soon?

But oh, comfortable silence in the night, as we lie upon the roof, staring at the stars.
No, no special urgency to find the answer to a certain question in our hearts. Is this...

Almost love, almost saying the words aloud. This is
(Oh, the stars are all out tonight.)
Almost love, yeah, I'm wondering if that's what we're feeling now
(Make this moment last a long, long, long time. Hey come on, come on.)
Almost love, and I swear we could shoot the moon. We are
Just on the brink of speaking too soon.
