Story Behind The Song
Girl (unexpectedly) falls for boy while supporting him through the break up of another relationship. Song starts just as she has told him how she feels and he has said that 'now' is not the time for another relationship (for him).
Song expresses (for the girl) that in getting to know and love him as a person - through sharing their hearts and dreams, this is the first time she has felt love, but since it is a love that is not reciprocated, Almost Touched Love sums it up!
Song Description
Almost Touched Love, with a strong 'west coast' feel, has a great melody and soft-rock beat supporting what could be a sad story, but is a positive take on the gift of experiencing love, even when not returned.

Lyrics
ALMOST TOUCHED LOVE © 2010 Beck Fielding
INTRO
I won't pretend
It wasn't hard
To drive away
When I wanted you
To ask me to
Turn around and stay
VERSE 1
I wrapped your
Your wounded soul
In bandages
I pulled you back
When I saw you there
On the mountain's edge
As you lay down by my fire
I gave you warmth
For the first time
I reached out
And almost touched love
CHORUS
You coulda been my-
Been my love
You coulda been my love
VERSE 2
I won't forget
The time we spent
Sharing our minds
With an honesty
And respect
Of a special kind
You let me be
You let me dream
And share my heart
For the first time
I reached out
And almost touched love
CHORUS
You coulda been my-
Been my love
You coulda been my-
Been my love
BRIDGE
I won't expect
The world of you at all
But I'd be back
To come for you
If you called
CHORUS
Cause you coulda been my-
Cause you coulda been my-
My love, my love
Been my love
You coulda been my love
