From the recording “TBD”
This song is about the serendipity of finally meeting someone even when you miss a couple of chances. This song is a true story of how I met a dear friend of mine after a couple of failed attempts to connect in person. There is a theme in this song of hope, perseverance and faith in the Universe that if two people are meant to meet and be together, it will happen.
Lyrics
I stopped in for a drink or two with a friend of mine who was passing though
And there you were standing all alone, hadn’t seen you in this place before
Our eyes connected and your smile suggested I walk on over and say hello, hello
But, I’ve gotta go
The night that we almost met is one that I won’t forget
Your smile and my passing glances, you only get so many chances in life
But, I had to go, I was in tow with a friend headed out to the show that night
The night that we almost met and I won’t forget about you
The days passed and the months did too spent hoping I’d run into you
But faith and fate can intervene when luck in life can seem so mean
‘Cause there you were on another night I walked right over and this time we got it right
We got it right
The night that we almost met is one that I won’t forget
Your smile and my passing glances, you only get so many chances in life
But, I had to go, I was in tow with a friend, headed out to the show that night
The night that we almost met and I’m leavin’ here with you tonight
Since that night, we’ve come so far and I thank my lucky stars above, for what almost wasn’t
The night that we almost met is one that I won’t forget
Your smile and my passing glances, you only get so many chances in life
But, I had to go, I was in tow with a friend, headed out to the show that night
The night that we almost met and I’m never ever leavin’ you
No, I’m never ever leavin’ you
