I thought that dreams belonged to other men 'Cuz 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-oa 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 'Now we hold the future in our hands
And in your arms salvation's not so far away It's getting closer closer every day
† エリック・カルメンはただの作曲作詞家だけではなく、自身でも何曲ものヒット曲を歌った人で、「All By Myself」なんてとっても悲しい曲、そして失恋をストレートに歌った「Change Of Heart」などがあります。88年には映画の挿入歌「Hungry Eyes」なんかもありましたね。
