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-ooh   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've 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-ooh   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      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   Paradise   Paradise
