Lyrics

Almost in Love

(Text & music by Bonfa - Starr)


Your lips were made for kisses so tender
I'm almost in love tonight
When we are close, my heart says surrender
I'm almost in love tonight

And here under the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
I'm almost in love tonight

It may be just the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
I'm almost in love tonight

Almost in love


Notes:

Elvis sang Almost In Love to Michele Carey in his 1968 movie "Live A Littel, Love A Littel".
The Instrumental Track was recorded on March 7, 1968, at Western Records in Hollywood.
Elvis his vocal was added at a later date. The Album had a shorter Instrumental introduction then the film version. This was the only Bonfa composition for Elvis.

The first 3 bars (7 seconds) were cut on the LP version of Almost in Love.

The Avon CD "Almost in Love" has a mix problem and is not included as source.

Almost In Love has and always will be a favourite of mine, it shows just how good a voice Elvis had.

See I got him, see the size,
Stripped and cleaned before your eyes,
Sweet meat look, fresh and ready to cook........
