From Between Friends2006

Lyrics

Almost

[Verse 1] Can you tell me how can one miss what she's never had? How could I reminisce when there is no past? How could I have memories of being happy with you, boy? Can someone tell me how can this be? How could my mind pull up incidents Recall dates and times that never happened? How could we celebrate a love that's too late And, how could I really mean the words I'm 'bout to say? [Chorus] I miss the times that we almost shared I miss the love that was almost there I miss the times that we used to kiss At least in my dreams, just let me take my time and reminisce I miss the times that we never had What happened to us? We were almost there Whoever said it's impossible to miss what you never had Never almost had you [Verse 2] I can not believe I let you go Or what I should say is I should have grabbed you up and never let you go I should have went out with you I should have made you my boo, boy Yeah, that's one time I should have broke the rules Should have went on a date Should have found a way to escape Should have turned it almost into if it happened, now it's too late How could I celebrate a love that wasn't real? And if it didn't happen, why does my heart feel? [Chorus] I miss the times that we almost shared I miss the love that was almost there I miss the times that we used to kiss At least in my dreams, just let me take my time and reminisce I miss the times that we never had What happened to us? We were almost there Whoever said it's impossible to miss what you never had Never almost had you [Bridge] (Sometimes I wanna plug ya Some nights I want to hug you) And you seemed to be the perfect one for me You (Sometimes I wanna touch you But tonight I wanna love you) You're all I ever wanted You're my everything, yes it's true Boy, it's hard to be close to you My love, I know it may sound crazy But I'm in love with you [Chorus] I miss the times that we almost shared I miss the love that was almost there (Almost there) I miss the times that we used to kiss At least in my dreams just let me take my time and reminisce I miss the times that we never had What happened to us? We were almost there Whoever said it's impossible to miss what you never had Never almost had you [Outro] I miss the times that we almost shared I miss the love that was almost there (Sometimes I wanna plug ya) I miss the times that we used to kiss At least in my dreams, let me take my time and reminisce (But tonight I wanna love you) I miss the times that we never had What happened to us? We were almost there Whoever said it's impossible to miss what you never had Never almost had you, baby (Said I miss you, really, really miss you) (But tonight I wanna love you)
