Almost - Lyrics - Faron Young

Faron Young was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' " and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

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...
