SHIRLEY BASSEY
"Almost There"
(Tom Baxter)

If you're listening now
I hope that I make more sense
'Cause now I'm not quite so young
I'm not quite so foolish in my defense

Pictures that I hid in my room
They now come out
And those places we used to go
I talk about

And now I'm not the girl of your dreams
Well, I took you almost there
I'll be damned if I care
Now if I'm not girl, we were almost there

Looks like I've lost you somewhere
And now I'm not the girl in your life

Well okay, maybe it hurts
And maybe I still feel my lips brush your face
What the hell, I'm not fool enough
To claim that I'm over you as yet

No, oh no
And though I've still got some way to go
Well, lately I'm almost there
I'll be damned if I care
Now that I'm not your girl, we were almost there

Watch me someday
Yeah, somehow I will make it somewhere
Going higher, I'll rise so much higher
And I'll hold my head higher

Almost there, that perfume that you wear
Now that I'm not your girl, we were almost there
Almost there
