Almost

Beautifully sung.

Yes, Nice song, beautifully sung, nice words, well recorded. pity it was hidden away on a budget LP.

An intimate ballad sung with charm and tenderness from one of my top 5 favourite Presley films -The Trouble With Girls

One of my absolute fav Elvis tracks! A real hidden gem that NO non-Elvis fan knows. A very mature piano-based ballad, with some over-powering strings. But a song like this stands shoulder to shoulder with highly respected songs and singers, like Sinatra's "One for My Baby" or "Didn't We". In fact, it shares a lot of lyrical similarities to "Didn't We (Almost make it)", a song Glen Campbell did well, also Matt Monro. This was Elvis proving again that he could do anything. I sincerely wish he would have recorded "Softly As I leave You" in the studio at this stage in his career---WITHOUT the Sheryl Nielson vocal. Elvis could have done it right the way Bobby Darin or Matt Monro did. Still, I am grateful for this short, perfect song.

I really like the last line:the saddest part of all is knowing we almost went all the way. Elvis almost had her in bed!

This is a great song from the underrated 'Trouble With Girls' film. A standout performance that continues to holdup today.

Beautiful, short ballad from TTWG. Elvis could make you feel the sad lyrics of a song like no other song stylist.

This is a short, but very beautiful and underrated ballad and Elvis sang it with charm, sincerity, commitment and tenderness. I've never skipped it. It's a true gem of a song and recording for sure. It's certainly a much better song than a lot of Elvis' other 1960's movie soundtrack songs. 5 Stars.

5-stars. One of his better offerings during the late 1960's.

nothing that really touches me or stuck in mind after i have listened to it. So yes, there are good reasons why this song never gets any attention from the public, but still a solid composition and it's well performed. 3,5 (i gave 4) stars.
