Almost Songtext
von Tracy Chapman

Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn′t count
And never does
Never does

One green light
One more ring of the telephone
One more step
One more second
And I almost
Almost

Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does


One hello
Just one kiss before the tears come
One yes
One chance
And I almost
Almost, almost, almost

Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn′t count
And never does
Never does

One day, one year
Five thousand weeks
A life of good works and good deeds
Let me be, let me be closer
Let me be
Let me be
Let me be

When I've almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does


One good guess
A question with an answer that I know
One idea
One grand notion
And I almost
Almost, almost, almost

Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn′t count
And never does
Never does

Never does
Never does
