A slow, touching song about how the singer is almost a perfect match for what the other person wants.
Joyce Maynard, who put together the compilation Where Love Goes, wrote in the liner notes that the thing which impressed her about this song was that there is no hint of apology in Cheryl's voice. She isn't apologizing that she is 'almost' a perfect match, just making a statement. Here is a live performance of Almost from YouTube.
- Almost
- Music And Lyrics By
- Cheryl Wheeler
- I'm almost everything you have ever wanted
- I'm almost your best dream come true
- We fit so perfectly
- Oh I almost can't believe
- How I'm almost all I need to be
- There's something now in your smile
- Just this side of distant
- And something else just that side of true
- This road's so old and worn from
- The countless nights I've sworn
- Oh I could be all you'd need me to
- Almost
- I don't know where to go
- To find our missing pieces
- I sit and stare and wonder where to start
- But then I look at you
- And I know it can't be true
- That something's here pulling us apart
- Some days I wonder how we'll walk this line
- Some days I think I feel your heart in mine
- Well underneath the surface
- Love isn't ever perfect - heaven knows
- So we'll just close that door
- Almost
