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...
