Richard Rodgers
This Nearly Was Mine
[Verse 1]
One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine
[Chorus]
One girl for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine
[Verse 2]
Close to my heart, she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies
From the moonlight
[Chorus]
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Once nearly was mine
