Lyrics Hank Locklin

Hank Locklin

Almost

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
