Almost There - Anika Noni Rose

Babe, come in from the cold and put that coat to rest Step inside, take a deep breath, and do what you do best Yes, kick off them shoes and leave those city streets I do believe love came our way, and fate did arrange for us to meet I love when you do that hocus-pocus to me The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal You give me that look, it's almost unreal It's almost unreal Hey, we can't stop the rain Let's find a place by the fire Sometimes I feel, strange as it seems You've been in my dreams all my life I love when you do that hocus-pocus to me The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal You give me that look, it's almost unreal It's almost unreal It's a crazy world out there (it's a crazy) Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight Oh, I love when you do that hocus-pocus to me The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal You give me that look (you've got the power), it's almost unreal It's almost unreal, so unreal Yeah, come on and do the hocus-pocus to me The way that you touch, you've got the power to heal You give me that look (you've got the power), it's almost unreal It's almost unreal, yeah It's almost unreal Do the hocus-pocus to me Do the hocus-pocus It's almost unreal Do the hocus-pocus to me Do the hocus-pocus

There's an angel in the window On a West Virginia church door swinging open And he's pointing to the exit sign Said, "You'll never walk on water If you wait until the river's frozen over In the Shenandoah summer" Well, it was almost heaven Choir singing in robes of white It was almost heaven Lovers laying side by side but When we reach forever Will there be a place where you and I may find home? So I keep a candle burning And I pray to see that Saint I knew for certain But it's just my own reflection now And that silhouette in the window Is the shape of someone I don't quite remember Dancing in the fire Well, it was almost heaven Choir singing in robes of white It was almost heaven Lovers laying side by side but When we reach forever Will there be a place where you and I may find home? In heaven I'll make a room for you If you stay, you'll rise on me now Lover, you can lean on me Love, I can lift you higher Said, I'm making a room for you Will you keep your eyes on me now? Lover, lean on me Love, I can lift you higher Oh, I can lift you higher, oh And it was almost heaven (choir singing in robes of white) It was almost heaven (lovers laying side by side) Oh, when we reach forever Will there be a place where you and I may find home? In heaven Make our home in heaven

I bet this time of night you're still up I bet you're tired from a long, hard week I bet you're sitting in your chair by the window Looking out at the city, and I bet Sometimes you wonder 'bout me And I just want to tell you It takes everything in me Not to call you And I wish I could run to you And I hope you know that Every time I don't, I almost do I almost do I bet you think I either moved on or hate you 'Cause each time you reach out, there's no reply I bet it never, ever occurred to you That I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye And I just want to tell you It takes everything in me Not to call you And I wish I could run to you And I hope you know that Every time I don't, I almost do I almost do Oh, we made quite a mess, babe It's probably better off this way And I confess, baby In my dreams you're touching my face And asking me if I'd want to try again with you And I almost do And I just want to tell you It takes everything in me Not to call you And I wish I could run to you And I hope you know that Every time I don't, I almost do I almost do I bet this time of night you're still up I bet you're tired from a long, hard week I bet you're sitting in your chair by the window Looking out at the city, and I hope Sometimes you wonder about me

I'd like to say we gave it a try I'd like to blame it all on life Maybe we just weren't right But that's a lie, that's a lie And we can deny it as much as we want But in time our feelings will show 'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up The truth is everyone knows, oh Almost, almost is never enough So close to being in love If I would have known that you wanted me The way I wanted you Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart But right here in each other's arms And we almost, we almost knew what love was But almost is never enough If I could change the world overnight There'd be no such thing as goodbye You'd be standing right where you were And we'd get the chance we deserve, oh Try to deny it as much as you want But in time our feelings will show 'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up The truth is everyone knows Almost, almost is never enough So close to being in love If I would have known that you wanted me The way I wanted you, oh Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart But right here in each other's arms And we almost, we almost knew what love was But almost is never enough Huh (huh-huh), huh, baby (mm) You know, you know, baby Almost, (baby, baby) is never enough, baby (baby) You know, (hm-hm) hey And we can deny it as much as we want But in time our feelings will show 'Cause sooner or later we'll wonder why we gave up The truth is everyone knows Almost, almost is never enough (is never enough, baby) (We were close) so close to being in love (so close) If I would have known that you wanted me (that you wanted me) The way I wanted you, babe Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart But right here in each other's arms And we almost, we almost knew what love was (baby) But almost is never enough Huh, huh, baby (almost) You know, you know, baby Almost, is never enough, baby (never) You know, hey
