This Nearly Was Mine
The Original Broadway Cast of South Pacific
[EMILE]
One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine

One girl for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine

I'll keep rememberin' kisses
From lips I've never owned
And all that lovely adventures
That we have never known
One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from moonlight

Now, now I'm alone
Still a-dreamin' of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine
