Almost Threw It All Away

Lyrics

I remember when you were just a girl And I was a boy in a big man's world We had no idea what time would reveal Little did we know that Over a million tears had to fall That is no exaggeration 'Cause I counted them all Every sad and senseless incident Has been mine to recall You never gave up, you never gave in You didn't say no, I can't take anymore of this You never gave up on me, you never gave in You refused to believe that love Had come to and end Oh, I almost threw it all away Traded truth for a lie, diamonds for clay Oh, I almost threw it all away Through some clever thinking And a strong imagination I could twist the truth into any configuration And find myself doing things That I never dreamed I could do (It's a sad thing) And I've known the kind of pain Where you can't catch your breath You sat if this is life Then please bring me death Thank God that that wish I made Never ever came true You never gave up, you never gave in You didn't say no, I can't take anymore of this You never gave up on me, you never gave in You refused to believe that love Had come to an end Oh, I almost threw it all away Traded truth for a lie, diamonds for clay Oh, I almost threw it all away Don't you know, don't you know That I almost threw it all away Traded truth for a lie Traded diamonds for clay Oh, I, don't you know That I almost threw it all away True love doesn't come and go Here today then gone tomorrow Doesn't speak the wicked word That breaks the heart in two Doesn't renegotiate What it knows is true Doesn't give up, give in Throw it all away All the things that I almost threw it All the things that I almost threw it All the things that I almost threw away Away, away, ooh-ooh... All the things that I almost threw it All the things that I almost threw it All the things that I almost threw it All the things that I almost threw away Away, away, ooh-ooh... All the things that I almost threw it Oh, all the way Oh-oh-oh-oh... Oh, I almost threw it all away Traded truth for a lie, diamonds for clay Oh, I almost threw it all away...
