Lyrics George Jones

George Jones

Girl I almost knew

I'll only miss your tears in my eyes

A tear that's been a prisoner way to long

The fool that's made excuses for your lies

Now confessin' the love he's never known.

You're the girl who almost gave heart to me

You're the girl who almost made my dreams come true

Forever in my mind there'll be a memory

Of a stranger, the girl I almost knew.

Each day I told myself you'll change tomorrow

For a fool in love will hide what's right or wrong

Behind my back you planted seeds with sorry

And they grew till the hurt became full grown.

You're the girl who almost gave heart to me

You're the girl who almost made my dreams come true

Forever in my mind there'll be a memory

Of a stranger the girl I almost knew
