Lyrics

This Nearly Was Mine

[Verse 1]

One dream in my heart

One love to be living for

One love to be living for

This nearly was mine

[Chorus]

One girl for my dream

One partner in paradise

This promise of paradise

This nearly was mine

[Verse 2]

Close to my heart, she came

Only to fly away

Only to fly as day flies

From the moonlight

[Chorus]

Now, now I'm alone

Still dreaming of paradise

Still saying that paradise

Once nearly was mine
