The first time I kissed you, my darlin' true love
We were drinkin' a glass of red wine
You said "You're an angel sent down from above"
But I knew you could never be mine

You were almost mine
You were almost mine
But "almost" leaves me lonely and lovin' in vain
While you're walkin' some other gal's line

You know that I've loved you for many long years
And together we were meant to be
I'll wish every day for the rest of my life
That the girl you had married was me

You were almost mine
You were almost mine
But "almost" leaves me lonely and lovin' in vain
While you're walkin' some other gal's line

I'd give anything in this wide wicked world
Just to hold you once more to my breast
And to kiss your sweet lips, how they still haunt my dreams
And, my dear, I still love you the best

You were almost mine
You were almost mine
But "almost" leaves me lonely and lovin' in vain
While you're walkin' some other gal's line
But "almost" leaves me lonely and lovin' in vain
While you're walkin' some other gal's line
