Almost you fell in love me
Almost you were my bride to be
But each promise that was made
You have broken and be trayed
You've 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 her 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 ev'ry 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.
