Don Schlitz - Almost Goodbye lyrics

[Verse 1] There was rain on the street last night We stood beneath the front door light And 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 [Chorus] 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 was more than we could do It was almost goodbye Almost goodbye [Verse 2] Now there was sun through the blinds This morning when I opened up my eyes Outside I could hear a mockingbird And I could feel your heartbeat As you laid there by my side I thought of how the world could end with just one word But you didn't say it and I didn't say it [Chorus] 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 It was almost goodbye [Bridge] Sometimes the most important words Are the ones that you leave unspoken [Chorus] 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 was was more than we could do It was almost goodbye Almost goodbye, no I couldn't say it Was almost goodbye
