This Nearly Was Mine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Outro]
Oh, nearly was mine
Hey, yeah, ohhh
Was mine, was mine, was mine
