This Nearly Was Mine

LETRA

This Nearly Was Mine

One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine
One girl for my dreams
One partner in paradise
This promise of a paradise
This nearly was mine

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine

How clear and deep are my fancies
Of things I wish were true!
I'll keep remembering evenings
I wish I'd spent with you.
I'll keep rememberin' kisses
From lips I've never owned
And all that lovely adventures
That we have never known

One partner in paradise
This nearly was mine
One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!
