Didn't We Almost Have It All
Jed Madela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night we almost lost it
Once again we can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
Didn't we have the best of times
When love was young and new
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The love of me and you
Cause we'll never ever gonna lose it again
'Cause once you know what love is
You never let it end
Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

My sincere and honest feedback that JED MADELA this is by far the best male version of DIDN'T WE ALMOST HAVE IT ALL that I've heard by far. Keep it up the good work
@science-health-safetymusic2322
My fav male singer....my male singer idol walang makakuha sa linis, linaw at taas ng boses nya sa lahat ng mga lalaking singers sa Pilipinas, kaya nga WPCOPA Senior Vocalist of the World Grand Champion.
@pingflores5327
Just be proud of Filipinos who excel in singing. Opera male singers can do the same and they're not gay. His sexual orientation is none of your business, it's his life and enjoying it. So back off.....Inggit with fellow Filipinos become a hobby for those who had nothing to do better with their life....Go for it my fellow Ilonggo, you make us proud.....God Bless...
