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
[ guitar ]
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
