Almost Heaven Lyrics

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

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
