Almost
One Sad Horse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I´m trying to hear what you say
I´ve tried not to get in your way
but I can´t get over you
no, I can´t get over you

I tried to forget you were mine
tried to leave you behind
but I can´t get over you
no, I can´t get over you

I just can´t go on like this
go on like this
but I just can´t move on

Sometimes it´s almost ok
sometimes I feel like I´ll drown
sometimes I wish that we never met
but mostly I just wish that you were around

You got your life now, I know
and this was a long time ago
but I can´t get over you
no I can´t get over you

Sometimes it almost ok
I almost feel fine without you around
sometimes I hate you for starting a fire
then watching it all burn down
Sometimes it´s almost ok
sometimes I feel like I´ll drown




sometimes I wish that we never met
but mostly I just wish that you were around

The scene where the boy packs up to go home and sees Hansel appear on the bed for a minute and then vanish is a lump in your throat moment. Especially if you love dogs.

Doug Case

Thanks for the upload of this film. I'd never seen it, but with Chill Wills in it, I knew it ought to be worth seeing, and it certainly was. David Ladd is good in this, too.

sfinthecity

Glad you enjoyed it.

Paul Stark

Mike Marley

"... it was just one little slap!"

"One slap to many!"

"... let me tell you something, there's times when the only thing you can do with a woman is hit her..."

wow, just wow!

$5,000 for the dog;
What cost $5000 in 1959 would cost $48,157 in 2021.

Yeah, in spite of this being a family oriented film, the slapping scene & dialogue is terrible.

I miss my horses. Coronavirus destroyed our farm had to give it up. Lock downs killed us!

Chill Wills is great

One thing sad about this movie is it seems to only survive in pan scan instead of CinemaScope.
