almost paradise

I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'cause each time I got close
they'd fall apart again

I thought my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
oh how could I have known?
that all my life I only needed you

almost paradise, we're knocking on heaven's door
almost paradise, how could we ask for more?
I swear that I could see forever in your eyes.. paradise

it seems that perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
you must have read my mind

and all these dreams I save for a rainy day
they're finally coming true
I'll share them all with you
'cause now we hold the future in our hands

and in your arms salvation's not so far away
it's getting closer, closer every day
