South Pacific movie - This Nearly Was Mine lyrics

rate me

<br>

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!<br>

<br>
