Almost

(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 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...
