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
