This Nearly Was Mine

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
