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 comin' true I'll share them all with you 'Cause, now we hold the future in our hands, oh
Chorus
And in your arms Salvation's not so far away It's getting closer Closer every day
Chorus
Paradise Paradise
