Almost Threw It All Away (The Secret of Time Album Version)
guitar chords lyrics
I remember when you were just a girl, and I was a boy in a big man's world,
We had know 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.
Well, you never gave up, and you never gave in,
And you didn't say, "No, I can't take any more of this,"
Well, 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.
Through some clever thinking and a strong imagination I could twist the truth into any configuration,
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 say, "If this is life, then please bring me death,"
Thank God that wish I made never, ever came true.
And I've known the kind of pain where you can't catch your breath,
You say, "If this is life, then please bring me death,"
Thank God that wish I made never, ever came true.
Well, you never gave up, you never gave in,
you didn't say, "No, can't take any more of this,"
And you never gave up on me, and 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, 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.
Oh, to think that I almost threw it...
Oh, to think that I almost threw it...
Oh, to think that I almost threw away, away, away, ooh, ooh,
Oh, to think that I almost threw it...
Oh, to think that I almost threw it...
Oh, to think that I almost threw it...
Oh, to think that I almost threw away, away, away, ooh, ooh,
Oh, to think that I almost threw it...(all away)
Oh, I almost threw it all away: traded truth for a lie, diamonds for clay,
Oh, I almost threw it all away,
