This time I almost made it, came so close to saying no
I almost found the words to make you go
This time I almost made it, almost pushed you away
But my heart cried out begging you to stay

A D DC# DB
Now I’m laying here beside you cryin’ softly
DA C#m
Cause I know you’re going home to her
Cause you belong to her and you go home to her

I know you still away, I know there’ll be another day
That you’ll come back again
And you’ll say hello friend and I’ll reach out my hand

This time I almost made it, this time I almost made it

3rd verse”
yesterday is dead and gone
and tommorrow’s out of sight
and its sad to be alone
D G,D
help me make it through the night

Repeat the chorus:

A time there was I was feeling so hopeless,
It’s a wonder I didn’t cave in
I kept throwing love at all the wrong people
Never to see it again

Chorus:
Oh, Lord, won’t you look what I’ve found?
Staring me right in the face
I’m through being lonely, I’m through being sad
I’m all through throwing good love after bad

Now I think of all the time I have wasted
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
Trusting my heart to the kindness of strangers,
Oh, I was so naive

Chorus (2X)

Sometimes it’s hard being a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You’ll have bad times
And He’ll have good times
Doing things that you don’t understand
But if you love him, you’ll forgive him
Even though he’s hard to understand
And if you love him
Oh, Be proud of him
’Cause after all he’s just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

Daytime memories returning, make each hour eternity
But with nigh time silent yeaning, time stands still or will there always be

Lonely days and nights more lonely
Till my love comes back to me
Till my love comes back to me

To make you stay I’ll never try and when you go I will not cry
But for a time I might be found somewhere near, still around

But may you find a love that’s true someone to love and cherish you
And if you love your whole life through and may you love as I love you

But if you’ll ever feel alone with no true love to call your own
And if you’ll need a place to hide these arms of mine are open wide

And if a troubled love brings you pain my love is all like summer rain
Always remember I’ll be found still around

To make you stay I’ll never try and when you go I will not cry

If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye
It’s no secret you’ll feel better if you cry
When waking from a bad dream, oh, don’t you sometimes think it’s real
But it’s only false emotions that you feel

If your heartaches seem to hang around too long
And your blues keep gettin’ bluer with each song
Remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky
So let your head down and go on and cry
