Almost You

Went out last friday night
 Felt like I was ready too
 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 is 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
 Cause 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 best and be almost you, you
 Stumbled on an old photograph
 You and me we were holding 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
 And I'm, trying 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
 Cause 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
 I never look at anyone the way I looked at you
 And I'm, trying 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
 Cause 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, almost you, almost you
