Kelli O'Hara - 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 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 dreaming of paradise Still saying that paradise Once nearly was mine So 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 remembering kisses From lips I'll never own And all the lovely adventures That we have never known 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 dreaming of paradise Still saying that paradise Once nearly was mine
