Almost Goodbye - Mark Chesnutt

作词：Billy Livsey/Don Schlitz

作曲：Billy Livsey/Don Schlitz

There was rain on the street last night

We stood beneath the front door light

Everything we said we made sure the

neighbors heard

You called me this I called you that

Standing on the welcome mat

Everything we felt it all came down to

just one word

But you couldn't say it

And I couldn't say it

You know I tried my best to go and

I know you cried

'cause I hurt you so

It should have been easy to say that we

were through

But to walk away from love

was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye

Almost goodbye

Now there was sun through the blinds

this morning

When I opened up my eyes

Outside I could hear a mockingbird

I could feel your heartbeat

as you lay there by my side

I thought of how the world could end

With just one word

But you didnt't say it

And I didn't say it

You know I tried my best to go

I know you cried

'cause I hurt you so

It should have been easy to say that we

were through

But to walk away from love that way was

more than we could do

It was almost goodbye

Almost goodbye

Sometimes the most important words

Are the ones that you leave unspoken

You know I tried my best to go and

I know you cried

cause I hurt you so

It should have been easy

To say that we were through

But to walk away from love that way

Was more than we could do

It was almost goodbye

Almost goodbye

No i didnt say it

It was

almost goodbye

Oh oh oh almost goodbye
