One dream in my heart,
One love to be living for,
One love to be living for,
This nearly was mine.
One girl for my dream,
One partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she 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.
I'll keep remembering kisses
From lips I've never owned,
And all the lovely adventures
That we have never known.
One dream in my heart,
One love to be living for,
One love to be living for,
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she 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 pardise
Once nearly was mine!
