Almost Heaven

I've been feeling low-down lower than ever before
Now i'm on the losing side, love took me for a ride
I saw you framed in light down by the waterfront
That was two long years ago, oh the time, where does it go?
There was some connection such expression in your smile
And i saw you around once in a while, but I always knew
Yeah I always knew that someday you would be mine
Some things are meant to be true, but I knew, I'd lose ya too...

Almost heaven, lord I never been this close before
Almost heaven, when you walked through my door
Almost heaven but still so far out of reach
Almost heaven

In life we wander aimless then we find someone to love
Lord it's a gamble every time, you put your heart on the line
As far as lovers go i've had my fair share
But now someone has hit me from behind, lord have mercy on the blind
Now I get the lesson but I don't get that girl
Her heart is filled with caution and distrust, farewell, set sail I must
Fate brought us together and fear tore us apart
It always finds its way in somehow, oh fear, you'll fear me now
Almost heaven, my oh my what have I done?
Almost heaven, you'll always be the only one
Almost heaven, how far we fall from grace
Almost heaven

Shook me down turned me around
Shook me down turned me around
Shook me down turned me around... and left me high and dry

Every time I look into those Cadillac eyes
I'm reminded of the storms that we drove through, me and you,
Were always in the rain
What chance did we have two lovers on the run
Now I face these changes all alone, she clipped my wings, I cannot fly
I get through these days in the loneliest of ways
Torn between the wiseman and the fool, my heart's been torn in two
They say time heals all wounds and lord I pray that's true
And when all is done and all is new, my sweet friend, i'll remember you
Almost heaven, it's a comin' up around the bend
Almost heaven, so sad it had to end
Almost heaven, I'll try i'll try again
Almost heaven
Almost heaven
Almost heaven
Almost heaven
