The Girl Almost Knew (1967) Songtext
von George Jones

I′ll only miss your tears, hurts my eyes
A tear, that's been a prisoner way too long
The fool, that′s made excuses for your lies
Now confesses, the love he's never known


You're the girl, who almost gave her heart to me
You′re the girl, who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind
There′ll be a memory, of a stranger
The girl I almost knew

Each day I told myself, you'll change tomorrow
For a fool in love, will hide what′s right or wrong
Behind my back, you planted seeds with sorrow
And they grew, till the hurt became full grown

You're the girl, who almost gave her heart to me
You′re the girl, who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind
There'll be a memory, of a stranger
The girl I almost knew
