A lonely misty tear escapes my eye
A tear that's been a prisoner way too long
The fool that made excuses for your lies
Now confesses the love he's never known

(chorus)
You're the girl
Who almost gave her heart to me
You're the girl
Who almost made my dreams come true
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory
Of a stranger
The girl I almost knew

Each day I told myself you'll change tomorrow
For a fool in love will hide what's right or wrong
Behind my back you planted seeds of sorrow
And they grew till the hurt became full-grown

(chorus)
