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
