Lyrics

Almost

He’s kind of blue,
But he wears a half-way grin,
He paces along an icy shore,
Wishing he could dive in…
And he tries,

His wings are spread,
But he dares not to fly,
With an beating heart,
He longs to try,

Come to the ledge he hears,
With only his toes to grip his fears,
And he’s near to…

Almost, almost like being there,
Like tomorrow’s dreams that will surly come around,
He’s almost got his happiness down,
He’s almost there.

His mind is racing,
But he can’t stop to think,
His eyes are steady,
But he can’t keep his hands from trembling…

Jump from the ledge he hears,
As he leaps with streaming happy tears,
And he’s near to…

…Like second place or those last ten miles,
He’s almost found his sweet lovely smile…

Putting together, the pieces of this mystery,
It’s only puzzling him,
He always thought by now he’d be,
Much further, much closer to, to…being there…

Off of the ledge he goes, and he’s feeling…

…Like that phone call telling me I’m sorry,
Maybe next time but keep on trying,
‘Cause he’s almost there,
He almost sees it,
He’s almost who he wants to be…he’s almost…
