Almost
May 10, 2010
How many times can you stand almost
And not quite enough?
How many times have you seen
An almost miracle
That just wasn't meant to be?
And did you cry
When you saw the broken hearts
The people standing 'round
And did you try
To mend that sadness
To fix the sobbing clouds
Or did you watch
And turn away
To wait for the next
Inevitable rainy day
