英语好歌推荐：Almost Here 仅仅在我身边

Almost here  － Brian Mcfadden & Delta¹ Goodrem

did i hear you right?
'cos i thought you said
lets think it over
you have been my life
and i never planned
growing old without you
shadows bleeding through the light
where the love once shined so bright
came without a reason
don't let go on us tonight
love's not always black and white
why haven't i always loved you?
and when i need you
you're almost here
and i know thats
not enough
and when i'm with you
i'm close to tears
'cos you're only almost here
i would change the world
if i had a chance
oh won't you let me
treat me like a child
throw your arms around me
oh please protect me
bruised² and battered³ by your words
dazed and shattered⁴ now it hurts
oh havent i always loved you?
and when i need you
you're almost here
and i know thats
not enough
and when i'm with you
i'm close to tears
'cos you're only almost here
oooh oh
bruised and battered by your words
dazed and shattered now it hurts
haven't i always loved you?
but when i need you
you're almost here
well i never knew how far behind i left you
and when i hold you
you're almost here
well i'm sorry that i took our love for granted
and now i'm with you
i'm close to tears
'cos i know i'm almost here
only almost here
