Almost Heaven

I've been feeling low-down lower than ever before Now i'm on the losing side, love took me for a ride I saw you framed in light down by the waterfront That was two long years ago, oh the time, where does it go? There was some connection such expression in your smile And i saw you around once in a while, but I always knew Yeah I always knew that someday you would be mine Some things are meant to be true, but I knew, I'd lose ya too... Almost heaven, lord I never been this close before Almost heaven, when you walked through my door Almost heaven but still so far out of reach Almost heaven In life we wander aimless then we find someone to love Lord it's a gamble every time, you put your heart on the line As far as lovers go i've had my fair share But now someone has hit me from behind, lord have mercy on the blind Now I get the lesson but I don't get that girl Her heart is filled with caution and distrust, farewell, set sail I must Fate brought us together and fear tore us apart It always finds its way in somehow, oh fear, you'll fear me now Almost heaven, my oh my what have I done? Almost heaven, you'll always be the only one Almost heaven, how far we fall from grace Almost heaven Shook me down turned me around Shook me down turned me around Shook me down turned me around...and left me high and dry Every time I look into those Cadillac eyes I'm reminded of the storms that we drove through, me and you, Were always in the rain What chance did we have two lovers on the run Now I face these changes all alone, she clipped my wings, I cannot fly I get through these days in the loneliest of ways Torn between the wiseman and the fool, my heart's been torn in two They say time heals all wounds and lord I pray that's true And when all is done and all is new, my sweet friend, i'll remember you Almost heaven, it's a comin' up around the bend Almost heaven, so sad it had to end Almost heaven, I'll try i'll try again Almost heaven Almost heaven Almost heaven Almost heaven
