This Nearly Was Mine (From the musical, "South Pacific")

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 from moonlight
Now, now I’m alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Once nearly was mine
I’ll keep remembering kisses
From lips I’ve never owned
And all the lovely adventures
That we have never known
One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living 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 dreaming of paradise
Still saying that pardise
Once nearly was mine!
