Almost Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Mmm
The saddest word I ever heard was "Almost"
′Cause it means whatever you tried to do
Oh, you didn't make it, oh, no, ooh

You almost (almost)
Oh, you almost (you almost)

Take a man who saved at his plan
His whole life through
Oh, and it find him run out of time
He didn′t live to see his dream come true

And he say he almost (almost)
Oh, almost (you almost)


Listen, everybody (everybody)
What I have to say, yeah (what I have to say, yeah)
It happens to all of us sometimes
Some kind of way

Hey, you almost (almost)
And that's right, but you almost (almost)
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Almost

Take a girl who's in love with a guy
Oh, but she′s much too shy to show it
Then when she finally wants to tell him so
Oh, another girl has him goin′

Anyway, she almost (almost)
Oh, she almost (she almost)
That's kinda close, but she almost (almost)
Oh, she almost (she almost)
And that′s right, but she almost (almost)
Hey, hey, almost (she almost)
Al-almost (almost)
