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
