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

[ piano - steel ]

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
