This Nearly Was Mine Lyrics - Always - Kelli O'hara

One dream in my heart 

One love to be living for 

One love to be living for 

This nearly was mine 

One man for my dream 

One partner in paradise 

This promise of paradise 

This nearly was mine 

Close to my heart he came 

Only to fly away 

Only to fly as day 

Flies from moonlight 

Now, now I'm alone 

Still dreaming of paradise 

Still saying that paradise 

Once nearly was mine 

So clear and deep are my fancies 

Of things I wish were true 

I'll keep remembering evenings 

I wish I'd spent with you 

I'll keep remembering kisses 

From lips I'll never own 

And all the lovely adventures 

That we have never known 

One man for my dream 

One partner in paradise 

This promise of paradise 

This nearly was mine 

Close to my heart he came 

Only to fly away 

Only to fly as day 

Flies from moonlight 

Now, now I'm alone 

Still dreaming of paradise 

Still saying that paradise 

Once nearly was mine
