California

Memories fade slowly
 No, please, don't go, not yet
 I was your one and only
 And I'm not ready to forget
 All the times we shared together
 All the words we never said
 And I remember
 When we almost went to California
 We almost fell in love in the sand
 And you almost told me to be your woman
 So you'll always almost be my man
 I think it was late last summer
 I saw the distance in your eyes
 You said that you found another
 Then you told me not to cry
 But I knew that's when it started
 The beginning of the end
 And I remembered
 When we almost went to California
 We almost fell in love in the sand
 And you almost told me to be your woman
 So you'll always almost be my man
 I guess it was late last winter
 Snow falling all around
 Wedding bells rang, she entered
 But I left without a sound
 Oh, I know she'll always love you
 But heaven knows that so will I
 And I'll remember
 When we almost went to California
 We almost fell in love in the sand
 And you almost told me to be your woman
 So you'll always almost be my man
 Yes, you'll always almost be my man
