This Nearly Was Mine
(listen to a brass rendition of the melody )
==================
- 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 dreams,
- 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 sayin' that paradise
- once nearly was mine!
- < instrumental break >
- Only to fly as day
- flies from moonlight!
- Now, now I'm alone
- still dreaming of paradise,
- still sayin' that paradise
- once nearly was mine!
- Music by Richard Rodgers
- with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
