ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE
Writers: Lerner and Loewe

Publishers: EMI April Music Inc

From the album SUNSET AND OTHER BEGINNINGS (1975)

What a day it has been
What a rare mood I'm in
And it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
And it's almost like being in love

Well the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that keeps ringing for me
And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to reel
Well, it's, I swear that I'm falling
Yes I know I am falling
And it's almost like being in love

Almost like being in love
Almost like being in love

Well the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that keeps ringing for me
And from the way that I feel when that bell starts to reel
I swear that I'm falling
Yes I'm sure that I am falling
And it's almost like being in love

Almost like being in love

NOTES

Almost Like Being In Love was first published in 1947 and is from the musical Brigadoon, which tells the story of a mysterious Scottish village that appears for only one day every hundred years, though to the villagers, the passing of each century seems no longer than one night.

As well as the version from SUNSET AND OTHER BEGINNINGS a live version can be found on the album ON AIR, which features recordings made for the BBC. The song also appears as a bonus track on some CD versions of CANDLES IN THE RAIN.

During the latter part of the seventies Melanie began to perform the song as a medley, combining it with Beautiful People, often as an encore and accompanied by Sal Ditroia on guitar. Studio recordings of this version also exist but have never been released.
