(Vic McAlpin - Jack Toombs)

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...
