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

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
