Rodgers And Hammerstein - This Nearly Was Mine lyrics

rate me

Emily:<br />

One dream in my heart,<br />

One love to be livin' for,<br />

One love to be livin' for<br />

This nearly was mine.<br />

<br />

One girl for my dream,<br />

One partner in paradise,<br />

This promise of paradise<br />

This nearly was mine.<br />

<br />

Close to my heart she came<br />

Only to fly away,<br />

Only to fly as day flies from moonlight<br />

Now, now I'm alone,<br />

Still dreamin' of paradise,<br />

Still sayin' that paradise<br />

Once nearly was mine.<br />

<br />

I'll keep rememberin' kisses<br />

From lips I've never owned,<br />

And all that lovely adventures<br />

That we have never known.<br />

<br />

One dream in my heart,<br />

One love to be livin' for,<br />

One love to be livin' for<br />

This nearly was mine.<br />

<br />

Close to my heart she came<br />

Only to fly away,<br />

Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.<br />

<br />

Now, now I'm alone,<br />

Still a-dreamin' of paradise,<br />

Still sayin' that paradise<br />

Once nearly was mine
