Almost Missed Her
Ken Mattox/Steve Mattox

She wore her halo like a saint, dancing in the summer rain
Playing with the stars, how could I forget her?
Her voice would linger in the air, a woman born of tears
Holding back the years, I strain to remember

If I’d missed this moment in my life, I would have missed the time we shared
Like fleeting ships in the dead of night, I almost missed her

She could make the angels sing, with the beauty that she’d bring
A warm inviting breeze with a heart of pleasure

If I’d missed this moment in my life, I would have missed the time we shared
Like fleeting ships in the dead of night, I almost missed her

Now she dances with the stars, no more pain and no more scars
No matter where we are, she looks down to guide me

If I’d missed this moment in my life, I would have missed the time we shared
Like fleeting ships in the dead of night, I almost missed her

If I’d missed this moment in my life, I would have missed the time we shared
Like fleeting ships in the dead of night, I almost missed her

I almost missed her, I almost missed her

Hi Guys,

Very nice song! Cool lyric and the lead guitar break was terrific! And the quiet part (vocal & acoustic guitar only) immediately following it.

We have 2 comments, if you don't mind:

1. Perhaps a small rewrite of this line to avoid using "missed" almost back-to-back: If I’d missed this moment in my life, I would have missed the time we shared. Our suggestion: If I’d missed this moment in my life, I wouldn't have had this time we shared. Just a thought FWIW.

2. perhaps less reverb on the entire recording. To our ears, it somewhat took away from the crispness of your vocals and slightly muddled the instrumental tracks.

Regardless of those two observations, we think you have a really nice song and a good delivery of the lyric. We enjoyed our listen! wishing you the very best,

Alan & Di

PS: Our observations are just our thoughts, keep or sweep as you see fit!
