1. 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
Haven't I always loved you?

[Chorus:]
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.

2. 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
Haven't I always loved you.

[Chorus x2]

* Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you.

[Coda:]
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)
(Now I'm with you, I?m close to tears
Cause I know I'm almost here)
Only almost here.
