Did I hear you right 'Cause I thought you said Let's think it over You have been my life And I never planned Growing old without you Shadows bleeding through the light Where a love once shined so bright Came without a reason Don't let go on us tonight Love's not always black and white Well, haven't I always loved you? But when I need you You're almost here And I know that's not enough But when I'm with you I'm close to tears 'Cause you're only almost here I would change the world If I had a chance Oh, won't you let me Treat me like a child Throw your arms around me Please protect me Bruised and battered by your words Dazed and shattered how it hurts Oh, haven't I always loved you But when I need you You're almost here And I know that's not enough And when I'm with you I'm close to tears 'Cause you're only almost here Bruised and battered by your words Dazed and shattered now it hurts Haven't I always loved you But when I need you You're almost here (Well, I never knew how far behind I'd left you) And when I hold you You're almost here (Well, I'm sorry that I took our love for granted) And now I'm with you I'm close to tears 'Cause I know I'm almost here Only almost here
