Almost Hear You Sigh

About Almost Hear You Sigh

"Almost Hear You Sigh" is a Grammy-nominated song by The Rolling Stones from their 1989 album Steel Wheels, written by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Steve Jordan. The song was originally a contender for inclusion on Richards' first solo album, Talk Is Cheap, but he decided to play it for Jagger and Chris Kimsey the next year during recording sessions in Montserrat for the Steel Wheels album. With the exception of some lyrical alteration by Jagger, the composition was left in its original form. The single, which was released in January 1990 and was the third single released from Steel Wheels, charted as No. 50 on the Billboard Hot 100 (US), reaching the slightly higher position of 31 in the UK, and placed No. 1 on the US Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for one week. USA Today music critic Edna Gundersen praised the track, noting that the vocals of Jagger and Richards' guitar playing sounded the best on the slower tracks from the album, including "Almost Hear You Sigh." more »

I can almost hear you sigh 
I can almost hear you cry 
On every crowded street 
All the places we would meet 

What will I do without ya 
They say that life goes on 
I'm feeling sorry for myself 
I can't believe you're gone 

And you acted much too calm 
You turned on all the charm 
You had a cold look in your eyes 

I can feel your tongue on mine 
Silky smooth like wine 
I'm living with these memories 
That's all that's left of you and me 

I can almost hear you sigh 
Almost hear you cry 
When you made sweet love to me 
And you turned on all the charm 
Acted much too calm 
You had a cold look in your eyes 

Did it mean nothing 
Was it all in vain 
Was I just your fool 
Or was the pleasure pain 

Have you set me free 
Or will I wake up 
In the morning 
And find out it's been a bad dream 

Come on, I beg you 
I want to be your main man 

I can almost hear you sigh 
Almost hear you cry 
When you make sweet love to me 
Almost see your smile 
It stretched half a mile 
You had a stone cold look in your eyes
