ALMOST ALWAYS
(Lichty / Douglas / La Vere)

as recorded by Joni James
with orchestra conducted by Lew Douglas
1953


Almost always I believe that you care,
There's no doubt dear, it's your love that I share.
Only sometimes do I worry, sweetheart,
Almost always it's because we're apart.

My darling, why can't we always be together,
Instead of every now and then?
I'm yours alone just while I'm with you,
And then I'm lonely again!

So please tell me what I'm longing to hear,
Say it's always you'll be loving me, dear!

My darling, why can't we always be together,
Instead of every now and then?
I'm yours alone just while I'm with you,
And then I'm lonely again!

So please tell me what I'm longing to hear,
Say it's always you'll be loving me, dear!
