Almost, you fell in love with me
   Almost, you were my bride to be
   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
   Well, each promise that was made
   You have broken and betrayed
   Oh how close we were, almost
  
   Almost, my every dream came true
   Almost, I heard you say "I Do"
   But I hear now instead
   All those unkind words you said
   Oh how close we were, almost
   Oh how close we were, almost
   Oh how close we were, almost
