Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember when we held on in the rain?
The nights we almost lost it
Once again
We can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again
[Chorus]
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall, my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
[Chorus]
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on 'til the morning?
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all?
[Verse 2]
The way you used to touch me felt so fine
Kept our hearts together
Down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again
[Chorus]
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall, my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
[Chorus]
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on 'til the morning?
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all?
[Bridge]
Didn't we have the best of times
When love was young and new?
Couldn't we reach inside and find
That world of me and you?
We'll never lose it again
'Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end
[Chorus]
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving?
The ride with you was worth the fall, my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
[Chorus]
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on 'til the morning?
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all?
Didn't we almost have it all?
