Almost got what I want
   Almost found what I lost
   Almost saved you and myself
   Almost won but it doesn’t count
   And never does
   Never does
  
   One green light
   One more ring of the telephone
   One more step
   One more second
   And I almost
   Almost
  
   Almost got what I want
   Almost found what I lost
   Almost saved you and myself
   Almost won but it doesn’t count
   And never does
   Never does
  
   One hello
   Just one kiss before the tears come
   One yes
   One chance
   And I almost
   Almost almost almost
  
   Almost got what I want
   Almost found what I lost
   Almost saved you and myself
   Almost won but it doesn’t count
   And never does
   Never does
  
   One day one year
   5,000 weeks
   A life of good works and good deeds
   Let me be let me be closer
   Or let me be
   Let me be
   Let me be
  
  
   When I’ve almost got what I want
   Almost found what I lost
   Almost saved you and myself
   Almost won but it doesn’t count
   And never does
   Never does
  
   One good guess
   A question with an answer that I know
   One idea
   One grand notion
   And I almost
   Almost almost almost
  
   Almost got what I want
   Almost found what I lost
   Almost saved you and myself
   Almost won but it doesn’t count
   And never does
   Never does
   Never does
   Never does
