Almost Over You
Sheena Easton · 20 Great Love Songs [2004]
She asked about you, I didn't quite know what to say
Heard youv'e been making the rounds 'round here
While I've been trying to make tears disappear
Chorus:
Now I'm almost over you, I've almost shook these blues
So when you come back around after painting the town
You'll see I'm almost over you...
You're such a sly one with your cold, cold heart
Maybe leavin' came easy, but it tore me apart
Time heals all wounds they say and I should know
'Cause it seems like forever, but I'm letting you go
(chorus)
I can forgive you and soon I'll forget all my shattered dreams
Although you left me with nothing to show, full of misery
( chorus )
When you come back around, after painting the town
You'll see I'm almost over you...
