Lyrics
One dream in my heart,
Expressing the presence of one significant dream in the speaker's heart.
One love to be livin' for,
Highlighting the existence of one love that gives purpose to life.
One love to be livin' for
Reiteration of the singular love that is central to the speaker's life.
This nearly was mine.
Reflecting on a missed opportunity or a dream that was almost realized but didn't come to fruition.
One man for my dream,
Emphasizing the desire for one man who aligns with the speaker's dream.
One partner in paradise,
Describing the ideal partner in the context of a heavenly or perfect relationship.
This promise of paradise
Referring to a commitment or assurance of a blissful existence with the ideal partner.
This nearly was mine.
Reiterating the theme of a dream or relationship that almost materialized but fell short.
Close to my heart he came
Expressing emotional proximity as the person came close to the speaker's heart.
Only to fly away,
Describing the fleeting nature of the connection, as the person eventually left.
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight
Comparing the departure to the swift movement of day turning into night, emphasizing the abrupt separation.
Now, now I'm alone,
Conveying a sense of loneliness after the departure.
Still dreamin' of paradise,
Continuing to hold onto the dream of paradise despite being alone.
Still sayin' that paradise
Affirming that paradise was once within reach but is now elusive.
Once nearly was mine.
Reiterating the idea that the envisioned paradise was almost a reality.
I'll keep rememberin' kisses
Expressing a commitment to cherish memories of kisses that never happened.
From lips I've never owned,
Reflecting on the beauty of unexperienced moments and connections.
And all that lovely adventures
Acknowledging the allure of unexplored adventures with the ideal partner.
That we have never known.
Highlighting the shared dreams that were never realized.
One dream in my heart,
Reiterating the singular dream residing in the speaker's heart.
One love to be livin' for,
Emphasizing the significance of one love that gives meaning to life.
One love to be livin' for
Reiteration of the singular love that is central to the speaker's life.
This nearly was mine.
Reflecting on a missed opportunity or a dream that was almost realized but didn't come to fruition.
Close to my heart he came
Expressing emotional proximity as the person came close to the speaker's heart.
Only to fly away,
Describing the fleeting nature of the connection, as the person eventually left.
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight.
Comparing the departure to the swift movement of day turning into night, emphasizing the abrupt separation.
Now, now I'm alone,
Conveying a sense of loneliness after the departure.
Still a-dreamin' of paradise,
Continuing to hold onto the dream of paradise despite being alone.
Still sayin' that paradise
Affirming that paradise was once within reach but is now elusive.
Once nearly was mine!
