Eric Carmen - Almost Paradise lyrics

(eric carmen/dean pitchford)

I thought that dreams belonged to other men

'cause each time I got close

They'd fall apart again

I feared my heart would beat in secrecy

I faced the nights alone

Ohhow could I have known

That all my life I only needed you?

Whoa

Almost paradise

We're knockin' on heaven's door

Almost paradise

How could we ask for more?

I swear that I can see forever in your eyes

Paradise

It seems like perfect love's so hard to find

I'd almost given up

You must have read my mind

And all these dreams I saved 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

Whoa

Almost paradise

We're knockin' on heaven's door

Almost paradise

How could we ask for more?

I swear that I can see forever in your eyes

Paradise

And in your arms salvation's not so far away

It's getting closer

Closer every day

It's almost paradise

We're knockin' on heaven's door

Almost paradise

How could we ask for more?

I swear that I can see forever in your eyes

Paradise

Whoa

Almost paradise

We're knockin' on heaven's door

Almost paradise

How could we ask for more?

I swear that I can see forever in your eyes

Paradise

Paradise

Paradise
