Almost lover - lyrics worksheet
This is a wonderful song I did with my teenage students. They loved singing it, even though it feels kind of sad and melancholic. With my high school students, I had a discussion afterwards about the fine line between friendship and love, and about loving and being loved. All around, a very romantic lesson.
