Stephen Brunette - Almost

Almost gone too long this time
Almost started something new
Almost walked a honey-scented trail
That did not directly lead to you
I swam a pooly pair o’ bedroom eyes
Walkin’ with me on the avenue
Told my tales in shades o’ little white lies
Might make an Eskimo start seein’ blue
I dreamed that she and I would make a love
That would satisfy our deep desires
Knew she was the one to save my soul
And make lovin’ an eternal fire
Then I heard a call from far away
And an echo wakin’ deep inside
You had seen this comin’ countless days
And were there with love to soothe my pride
You told me I could play this child’s game
If I found someone to play along
Then you gave me lovin’ greater than my name
Said we’ll talk if other love grows strong
Now when a pooly pair o’ bedroom eyes
Comes a-strollin’ on the avenue, and they do
You know I’m lookin’ in ‘em once or twice
Returnin’ my eyes to you
In you I see the source o’ bedroom eyes
Poolin’ deeper than the ocean blue
No light for shades of grey or little white lies
Just a deep abiding love, that’s you
Almost gone too long this time
Almost started something new
Almost walked a short romantic trail
That did not directly lead to you
