This Nearly Was Mine Perry Como

One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine!

One girl for my dreams
One partner for 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 dreaming of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!
