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 beat 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 [Chorus]
