Barbara Cook - This Nearly Was Mine lyrics

One dream in my heart One love to be livin' for One love to be livin' for This nearly was mine One man for my dream One partner in paradise This promise of paradise This nearly was mine Close to my heart he 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 I'll keep rememberin' kisses From lips I've never owned And all that lovely adventures That we have never known One dream in my heart One love to be livin' for One love to be livin' for This nearly was mine Close to my heart he came Only to fly away Only to fly as day flies from moonlight Now, now I'm alone Still a-dreamin' of paradise Still sayin' that paradise Once nearly was mine!
