This Nearly Was Mine Lyrics

One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mineOne man for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mineClose to my heart he came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlightNow, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Once nearly was mineSo clear and deep are my fancies
Of things I wish were true
I'll keep remembering evenings
I wish I'd spent with youI'll keep remembering kisses
From lips I'll never own
And all the lovely adventures

That we have never knownOne man for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mineClose to my heart he came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlightNow, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Once nearly was mine
