Almost you fell in love with me Almost you were my bride to be But each promise that was made You have broken and betrayed And left me with a faded memory Almost my precious dreams came true Almost you whispered dear I do But someone new came by and you left me here to cry Oh how close we were almost Almost I heard the church bells ring Almost I heard the choir sing But I hear now instead all those unkind words you said I remember every little thing Almost your heart I did possess Almost you brought me happiness My dreams just won't come true And there's nothing I can do Oh how close we were almost Oh how close we were almost
