This Nearly Was Mine
One dream in my heart,One love to be livin' for,One love to be livin' forThis nearly was mine.One man for my dream,One partner in paradise,This promise of paradiseThis nearly was mine.Close to my heart he cameOnly to fly away,Only to fly as day flies from moonlightNow, now I'm alone,Still dreamin' of paradise,Still sayin' that paradiseOnce nearly was mine.I'll keep rememberin' kissesFrom lips I've never owned,And all that lovely adventuresThat we have never known.One dream in my heart,One love to be livin' for,One love to be livin' forSongtexteThis nearly was mine.Close to my heart he cameOnly to fly away,Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.Now, now I'm alone,Still a-dreamin' of paradise,Still sayin' that paradiseOnce nearly was mine!
