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 dream 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
But dreams just won't come true
And there's nothing I can do.
Oh, how close we were almost...
