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 Whoa, 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, yeah, it's paradise It seems like perfect love's so hard to find I'd almost given up, you must've read my mind And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day They're finally comin' true, you know I'll share them all with you 'Cause now we hold the future in our hands Whoa, 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, oh, it's paradise And in your arms salvation's not so far away It's getting closer, closer every day 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, oh, it's paradise Paradise, yeah, this is paradise, paradise
