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...
