nearly everything i wanted 

everything i ever could have dreamed of 

got it all right here, oh, in a house full of love 

nearly everything i thought, everything i thought i might try 

almost all came true, ooh, i'm satisfied 

so don't cry, don't cry 

when i die remember me with a smile in my eye 

it's been a long hard drive and maybe my car caught fire 

but nearly everything, everything came out fine 

almost got it, almost have it all 

but you know you don't run, oh, unless you're willing to fall 

nearly everything i wanted, everything i ever could have dreamed of 

got it all right here, oh, in a house full of love 

that's my life in a nutshell 

baby, you do what you can do
