One dream in my heart,
 One love to be livin' for,
 One love to be livin' 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 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 she 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
