ALMOST LIKE BEING WITH YOU
(Bonnie Guitar)

Bonnie Guitar - 1968



 
I've locked the door and the lights are down low
And the record that's playing is slow
I'm in a dress of deep blue
I wore the one you'd want me to
And it's almost like being with you

I bought champagne, your very favorite blend
Long stemed roses, the kind you used to send
With candles and a tablecloth of blue
It's almost like being with you

The room's a copy of the place we used to be
Filled to the top with your memories you see
With this decor tonight our past I'll live anew
When it's over there'll be no more you

One thing more while I pour the champagne
It's too late, I won't see you again
Someone who loves me true is standing by
Tonight we're toasting your memory goodbye
