Donna Devine songs
The genre is more musical/theatre-oriented, but adult contemporary was the closest I could find in the SR list. I hope you enjoy it. (-:

Lyrics: Donna Devine
I came so close to holding you
But voices held me back
The ones that warned of danger
If I left the beaten track
I came so close to wanting you
But fear's a cruel chain
It loosens for a glimpse of hope
Then tightens up again
I almost had
Oh yes, I almost had
A near-life experience
To fill me with wonder
And for one breathless moment
I burst through the cloud I’m under
I was so near to having
Oh, very near to having
A near-life experience with you
I came so close to loving you
And moving through your light
But I began to panic
When my old world fell from sight
If time were a cloak
I’d unravel its seams
Dig into its pockets
For remnants of dreams
For threads of my longing
And the pieces of you
I threw off so lightly
Before, oh yes, before the rare bird flew
I almost had
Oh yes, I almost had
A near-life experience
To fill me with wonder
And for one breathless moment
I burst through the cloud I’m under
I was so near to having
Oh, very near to having
A near-life experience with you
A near-life experience with you
