Description
9-11 NYC, my husband was uptown and I was around 45 minutes away when the towers were hit and went up in flames. He thought I was at the towers and I thought he could have been lost or hurt as well. This song was inspired by that feeling that I could almost lost someone who is my best friend and greatest love I have ever known besides Jesus.
Lyrics
ALMOST SLIPPED AWAY ©2005 Michele L. Jaffe / Michelle Gold I remember the day I thought I'd never hear your voice again I never felt so alone & afraid When I heard the news, the news that you might not make it back to me I couldn't breathe, wondering if you would be ok I thought of our past, all the times that we laughed & I had to hold on Until you walked through the door with your arms open wide Bringing warmth like the sun Chorus: (Oh) You almost slipped away Just like a falling star, With a light that burns so bright Then fades into the sky But now here I am sharing my life & all my love with you And I'm so glad you're back in my arms 'Cause you almost slipped away Used to be, I’d forget all those little things that mean so much But now I’ll hug and kiss you… just because Baby I see we won’t be here forever so with your love as my guide I promise you, I'll cherish every moment by your side You’re the whole world to me; it’s so easy to see Baby you’re my best friend And all I wanna do is give my love to you over & over again (And to think…) (Chorus) I thought I'd never touch you again for the rest of my life I thought I'd never look again into those beautiful eyes But now I'm standing here with a miracle in my arms and I can see That each time you breathe, you give my life back to me, back to me… (Chorus) And I’m so glad you’re back in my arms, baby I’m so glad you’re back in my arms ‘cause you almost slipped away
