California

Memories fade slowly
No please don't go, not yet
I was your one and only
I'm not ready to forget
All the times we shared together
All the words we never said
But I remember
When we almost went to California
We almost fell in love in the sand
You almost told me to be your woman
So you'll always almost be my man
I think it was late last summer
I saw the distance in your eyes
Said that you found another
Then you told me not to cry
But I knew that's when it started
The beginning of the end
But I remembered

When we almost went to California
We almost fell in love in the sand
You almost told me to be your woman
So you'll always almost be my man
I guess it was late last winter
Snow falling all around
Wedding bells rang she entered
But I left without a sound
Oh I know she'll always love you
But heaven knows that so will I
And I'll remember
When we almost went to California
We almost fell in love in the sand
You almost told me to be your woman
So you'll always almost be my man
