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 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 and moonlight

Now now I'm alone

Still dreaming of paradise

Still saying this paradise

Once nearly was mine

How 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

Now now I'm alone

Still dreaming of paradise

Still saying this paradise

Once nearly was mine
