Almost Happy
I saw you at a party with a Starlet on your arm
I counted to a thousand, and managed to stay calm
You didn't see my while I watched you by the door
Make her feel the way that you did me that time before
And she looked Happy, she seemed safe
A smile across her pretty face
She was happy
A gorgeous 5' 10" model danced and shimmied close near by
From my secret look out, I saw you catch her eye
A half an hour later you were with her at the bar
She laughed and tossed her hair back
While you were who you are
And she looked happy
She seemed safe
A smile across her pretty face
She was happy
I made a graceful exit
That is my forte
I slipped into my fast car
And slowly pulled away
It's funny how things work out as they must and do
And now, on reflection, I'm glad I'm not with you
I was happy
I was safe
A smile across my knowing face
I was happy
Almost happy, Almost happy, Almost happy
Casi Feliz
Te vi en una fiesta con una estrella en tu brazo
Conté hasta mil y logré mantener la calma
No me viste mientras te observaba junto a la puerta
Hacerla sentir como me hiciste sentir aquella vez antes
Y ella lucía feliz, parecía segura
Una sonrisa en su lindo rostro
Ella estaba feliz
Una modelo hermosa de 5' 10" bailaba y se movía cerca
Desde mi escondite, te vi captar su atención
Media hora después estabas con ella en el bar
Ella se rió y lanzó su cabello hacia atrás
Mientras tú eras quien eres
Y ella lucía feliz
Parecía segura
Una sonrisa en su lindo rostro
Ella estaba feliz
Hice una salida elegante
Esa es mi especialidad
Me metí en mi auto rápido
Y me alejé lentamente
Es curioso cómo las cosas se resuelven como deben hacerlo
Y ahora, reflexionando, me alegra no estar contigo
Yo era feliz
Yo era segura
Una sonrisa en mi rostro sabio
Yo era feliz
Casi feliz, Casi feliz, Casi feliz
