  • Remember when we held on in the rain
    The night we almost lost it
    Once again we can take the night into tomorrow
    Living on feelings
    Touching you I feel it all again

    [Chorus]
    Didn't we almost have it all
    When love was all we had worth giving?
    The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
    Loving you makes life worth living
    Didn't we almost have it all
    The night we held on till the morning
    You know you'll never love that way again
    Didn't we almost have it all

    The way you used to touch me felt so fine
    We kept our hearts together down the line
    A moment in the soul can last forever
    Comfort and keep us
    Help me bring the feeling back again

    [Chorus]

    Didn't we have the best of times
    When love was young and new?
    Couldn't we reach inside and find
    The world of me and you?
    We'll never lose it again
    'Cause once you know what love is
    You never let it end

    Didn't we almost have it all
    When love was all we had worth giving?
    The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
    Loving you makes life worth living

    Didn't we almost have it all
    The night we held on till the morning
    You know you'll never love that way again
    Didn't we almost have it all Writer/s: MICHAEL MASSER, WILL JENNINGS
