Went out last Friday night
Felt like I was ready to

Pretty pair of green eyes

Sideways glance from across the room

Pretty soon we were locked in conversation

I could have kissed her leaning up against the driver door
She was almost everything that I've been looking for
She was almost you
Almost you

Almost someone to hold on to
Almost you

A love to last my whole life
Just when I think I've found it, the perfect love, she lets me down
The best someone else could hope to do
Is take second place and be almost you

You

Stumble on an old photograph

You and me, we were holdin' hands
We were young and so in love

Like we couldn't get close enough

What happened to happily ever after?

I never look at anyone the way I looked at you
I'm tryin' hard to find somebody new
She was almost you
Almost you

Almost someone to hold on to
Almost you

A love to last my whole life
Just when I think I've found it, the perfect love, she lets me down
The best someone else could hope to do
Is take second place and be almost you

Almost you

I never look at anyone the way I looked at you
I'm tryin' hard to find somebody new
She was almost you
Almost you

Almost someone to hold on to
Almost you

A love to last my whole life
Just when I think I've found it, the perfect love, she lets me down
The best someone else could hope to do
Is take second place and be almost you
Almost you

Almost you

Almost you
