Almost Hear You Sigh

The Rolling Stones · The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]

Rolling Stones - Almost hear you sigh

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 you

They say that life goes on

I'm feeling sorry for myself

I can't belive you're gone

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 those 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 nothng

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
