I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cause each time I got close
they'd fall apart again
I feel my heart a-beating in secrecy
I face the nights alone, oh how could I have known?
In all my life I only needed you

Oh, almost paradise
We're knocking on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I could see forever in your eyes
Paradise

It seems that perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up, you must have read my mind
And all these dreams I save 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

Oh, almost paradise
We're knocking on heaven's door
Almost paradise
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I could see forever in your eyes
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 could see forever in your eyes
Paradise
Paradise
