Lyrics
Almost
Almost gone too long this time; almost started something new.
Almost walked a honey-scented trail that did not directly lead to you.
I swam a pooly pair o? bedroom eyes walkin? with me on the avenue.
Told my tales in shades o? little white lies ? might make an eskimo start seein? blue.
I dreamed that she and I would make a love that would satisfy our deep desires.
Knew she was the one to save my soul and make lovin? an eternal fire.
Then I heard a call from far away, and an echo wakin? deep inside.
You had seen this comin? countless days and were there with love to soothe my pride.
You told me I could play this child?s game if I found someone to play along.
Then you gave me lovin? greater than my name, said we?ll talk if other love grows strong.
Now when a pooly pair o? bedroom eyes comes a-strollin? on the avenue
? and they do ?
you know I?m lookin? in ?em once or twice, then returnin? my eyes to you.
In you I see the source o? bedroom eyes, poolin? deeper than the ocean blue.
No light for shades of grey or little white lies, just a deep abidin? love ? that?s you.
Almost gone too long this time; almost started something new.
Almost walked a short romantic trail that did not directly lead to you.
