美國樂壇天后［惠妮休斯頓］──流行靈魂抒情佳作──［Didnt We Almost Have It All／我們不是幾乎擁有過一切嗎］

Remember when we held on in the rain

The night we almost lost it

Once again we can take the night into tomorrow

Living on feelings

Touching you I feel it all again

Didnt we almost have it all

When love was all we had worth giving?

The ride with you was worth the fall my friend

Loving you makes life worth living

Didnt we almost have it all

The night we held on till the morning

You know youll never love that way again

Didnt we almost have it all

The way you used to touch me felt so fine

We kept our hearts together down the line

A moment in the soul can last forever

Comfort and keep us

Help me bring the feeling back again

Didnt we almost have it all

When love was all we had worth giving?

The ride with you was worth the fall my friend

Loving you makes life worth living

Didnt we almost have it all

The night we held on till the morning

You know youll never love that way again

Didnt we almost have it all

Didnt we have the best of times

When love was young and new?

Couldnt we reach inside and find

The world of me and you?

Well never lose it again

Cause once you know what love is

You never let it end

Didnt we almost have it all

When love was all we had worth giving?

The ride with you was worth the fall my friend

Loving you makes life worth living

Didnt we almost have it all

The night we held on till the morning

You know youll never love that way again

Didnt we almost have it all

１９８７年６月　美國歌壇新慧星惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）推出第二張大碟［Whitney］（Arista唱片出版）

成為首位空降Billboard專輯榜冠軍（史上第五張）的女藝人

讓專輯在退榜前美國大賣六百萬張, 至今已九百多萬張

大碟全球暢銷, 登上十幾國后座　

包括英國冠軍　７白金（２２４萬張）

日本冠軍　（１００萬張＋）　加拿大冠軍　７白金（７０萬張）　德國冠軍　白金（５０萬張）

至今全球賣出近２０００萬張

首支主打［I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)］世界熱門,

登上英, 美, 德…等十幾國冠軍, 成為惠妮在１９８０年代最紅的歌曲

１９８７年８月, ２４歲的休斯頓推出第二主打［Didnt We Almost Have It All］

原本Arista唱片打算以舊曲新唱［For the Love of You］主打, 但後來以［Didnt We Almost Have It All／我們不是幾乎擁有過一切嗎］替代

因為公司認為惠妮當時事業應該以原創作品當單曲

［Didnt We Almost Have It All］由Michael Masser＆Will Jennings譜寫, 前者將其製作一首流行／靈魂抒情曲

休斯頓的詮釋深情動人

［Didnt We Almost Have It All］登上美國Billboard單曲榜冠軍　成為惠妮第五首冠軍曲（1987年終#22）

另拿到副榜──成人抒情榜冠軍（1987年終#7） 黑人榜亞軍（1987年終#38）

英國榜＃１４　加拿大亞軍　愛爾蘭＃４　西班牙＃１２　比利時＃１６　荷蘭＃１７　瑞士＃１８　德國＃２０　澳大利亞／冰島電台榜＃２７　紐西蘭＃４９

這是惠妮事業的名曲之一

媒體推測此曲描述的是她跟NFL足球明星Randall Cunningham的戀情
