“Didn’t We Almost Have It All” is one of those tracks that is so honestly written and well crafted that you will find yourself just absently nodding your head “yes” in agreement to the lyrics. Whether you’ve been in love, never have been in love, or have been “almost” in love, “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” still touches a unique place in your heart. For many people this song stirs up memories of the one that got away or may make them consider a second chance at love. I absolutely love how the lyrics display the fact that the love was so strong that even though things didn’t work out, it was still worth “the fall”.
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 nights we held on ’til the morning
You know you’ll never love that way again
Didn’t we almost have it all?
The track’s transparent, heartfelt lyrics touched audiences all over the world, launching it to #1 on both Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts. “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” is available on the cd “Whitney“.
