Almost Blue Lyrics by Jimmy Scott

Holding Back the Years

1998

[Verse 1]
Almost blue
Almost doing things
We used to do
There's a girl here and she's
Almost you
Almost
All the things
That your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
[Bridge]
Flirting with this disaster
Became me
Named me as the fool
Who only aimed to be
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Almost blue
It's almost touching
It will almost do
There is part of me
That's always true
Always
Not all good things
Come to an end
It's only a chosen few
I've seen such an unhappy couple
[Outro]
Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue
