Almost blue<br>
Almost doing things we used to do<br>
There's a girl here and she's almost you<br>
Almost<br>
All the things that your eyes once promised<br>
I see in hers too<br>
Now your eyes are red from crying<br>
<br>
Almost blue<br>
Flirting with this disaster became me<br>
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be<br>
<br>
Almost blue<br>
It's almost touching it will almost do<br>
There's a part of me that's always true...always<br>
Not all good things come to an end now it is only a chosen few<br>
I've seen such an unhappy couple<br>
<br>
Almost me<br>
Almost you<br>
Almost blue<br>

Lyrics

Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost
All the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying

Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be

Almost blue
It's almost touching it will almost do
There's a part of me that's always true... always
Not all good things come to an end now, it is only a chosen few
I have seen such an unhappy couple

Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue






Alternate lyric, sung by Chet Baker:

Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost
All the things that you promised with your eyes
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
