Eric Carmen - Paradise lyrics

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 Oh, how could I have known That all my life I only needed you, oh Chorus: Almost paradise, we're knocking 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 'Now we hold the future in our hands, oh Chorus And in your arms salvation's not so far away We're getting closer, closer every day Chorus Paradise Paradise
