I almost never loved you

Any other mornin', you might have walked a different street
Turned a different corner, instead of bumpin' into me.
You'd have never said: "Excuse me."
I'd have never smiled and told you: "That's ok."

We never would have sat down in that quiet coffee shop
Traded old war stories about loves that we have lost.
I'd have never got your number,
Before I kissed your cheek and walked away.
We wouldn't be here today.

Oh, I almost never loved you:
Another place another time,
I'd have missed your kiss forever,
And watched you walk on by.
I'd have gotten up this morning,
Just another lonely fool.
I could never live without you,
And yet, I almost never loved you.

Now, a man like me, I might as well admit it:
Lovin' you was easy, the trick was fallin' in it.
All the what-ifs and near misses,
The stars that had to line up perfectly:
It scares me now to think

Oh, I almost never loved you:
Another place another time,
I'd have missed your kiss forever,
And watched you walk on by.
I'd have gotten up this morning,
Just another lonely fool.
I could never live without you,
And yet, I almost never loved you.

Right out of the blue,
Right into a dream
Fate must have smiled on me.

Instrumental break.

Oh, I almost never loved you:
Another place another time,
I'd have missed your kiss forever,
And watched you walk on by.
I'd have gotten up this morning,
Just another lonely fool.
I could never live without you,
Yet, I almost never loved you.

Oh, I almost never loved you.
