(Bonfá & Starr)

Information:
Written by Luiz Bonfá and Randy Starr, Almost In Love was sung by Elvis in his 1968 film, Live A Little, Love A Little. The instrumental track was recorded on March 7, 1968, at Western Recorders in Hollywood. Elvis's vocal was added at a later date. The album version had a shorter instrumental introduction than the film version. The single release had a short two-week stay on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, reaching #95.

Lyrics:

Your lips were made for kisses so tender
I'm almost in love tonight
When we are close, my heart says, "Surrender"
I'm almost in love tonight
 

And here under the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
I'm almost in love tonight

It may be just the spell of evening
I long to hold you tight
Heaven is near, why think of tomorrow
I'm almost in love tonight
