South Pacific - This Nearly Was Mine

Emily:

One dream in my heart,

One love to be livin' for,

One love to be livin' for

This nearly was mine.

One girl for my dream,

One partner in 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 dreamin' of paradise,

Still sayin' that paradise

Once nearly was mine.

I'll keep rememberin' kisses

From lips I've never owned,

And all that lovely adventures

That we have never known.

One dream in my heart,

One love to be livin' for,

One love to be livin' for

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 a-dreamin' of paradise,

Still sayin' that paradise

Once nearly was mine!
