Hank Locklin - Almost Lyrics

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
