I Almost Told Her

For many years I loved her I tried so hard I couldn’t do more

So the reason that she’s going I guess I’ll never see

There’s what I never offered like money for things and diamonds and rings

And though I never gave it I almost bought it

I almost told her so

I almost told her so

I almost told her

We had so much in common, she loved my friends, never thought it would end

Where I surely know I’m lonesome, like I guess I’ll always be

Never thought she would do better than the love I brought even if it’s a thought

The words remain unspoken but I almost said it

I almost told her so

I almost told her so

I almost told her

If she knew for sure I loved her would she be gone just traveling on

To where I cannot see her where I cannot tell her

I almost told her so

I almost told her so

I almost told her
