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.
