Merry Clayton — Almost Paradise lyrics

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
Whoa-oh
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-oh
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…
Yo, paradise
And in your arms salvation’s not so far away
It’s getting closer (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… yeah
Paradise…
Yeah, it’s paradise…
Paradise…
