Almost Like A Song

Words & Music by Archie Jordan
Recorded by Ronnie Milsap, 1977



C              F    Fm		        C    C/B   Am
Once in ev'ry life     someone comes along;
          
Am7            Dm   Dm7           G             C
And you came to me --      it was almost like a song.

C              F    Fm		             C    C/B   Am
You were in my arms     just where you belong;

Am7            Dm     Dm7         G              C
We were so in love --      it was almost like a song.


Bridge:

  FM7            Em7
January through December

Dm7             G7        C         C/B      Am
We had such a perfect year;

      Em
Then the flame became a dying ember,

Dm7        Gdim(II)            G7
All at once, you weren't here.


C              F    Fm		             C    C/B   Am
Now by broken heart      Cries for you at night,
                       Dm     Dm7      G                C   F   G
And it's almost like a song,      but it's too sad to write.


 C      C7     F    Fm                   C      C/B    Am
Now my broken heart    cries for you at night,

                        Dm    Dm7      
And it's almost like a song,

         Fdim(I)          Am    Am+7   Am7    D7
But it's much too sad to write,

         Dm7      C     F     C
It's too sad to write.
