The Love We Almost Had

My heart is in another's keeping
 All but one small part
 A piece that somehow found its way to
 Hide inside your heart
 I can go a day or three
 With not one thought of you
 But then I see a crooked smile
 That draws me back into
 The way you almost held my hand, dear
 The time you kissed my cheek
 The words that never left your lips, love
 But I heard week after week
 The waltzes that we left untaken
 The glances drove us mad
 The life we didn't live together
 And the love that we almost had
 ♪
 I remember it so clearly
 The day you first came in
 The bight light in your eye
 The brown velvet of your skin
 The instant ancient understanding
 Of what I already knew
 That spark of useless fire
 The pull that led us to
 The way you almost held my hand, dear
 The time you kissed my cheek
 The words that never left your lips, love
 But I heard week after week
 The waltzes that we left untaken
 The glances drove us mad
 The life we didn't live together
 And the love that we almost had

 The words that never left your lips, love
 But I heard week after week
 Waltzes that we left untaken
 The glances drove us mad
 The life we didn't live together
 And the love that we almost had
 Oh, the love that we almost had
 The love that we almost had, had, had
 Had, had, had
