Recorded by George Morgan Written by Vic McAlpin and Jack Toombs D A D Almost you fell in love me A Almost you were my bride to be D But each promise that was made G D You have broken and be- trayed E A A7 You've left me with a faded memo- ry. D A D Al- most, my precious dreams came true A Almost, you whispered, dear, I do D But someone new came by G D And you left me her to cry A D Oh! how close, we were Al- most. 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 ev'ry 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.
