This time I almost made it came so close to saying no

I almost found the words to make you go

This time I almost made it almost pushed you away

But my heart cried out begging you to stay



Now I'm laying here beside you cryin' softly

Cause I know you're going home to her

Cause you belong to her and you go home to her



I know you steal away I know there'll be another day

That you'll come back again

And you'll say hello friend and I'll reach out my hand



This time I almost made it this time I almost made it
