Almost Paradise
Footloose · Other Songs - Footloose
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
oooh almost paradise we're knocking on heavens door
almost paradise how could we ask for more?
i swear that i can see forever in your eyes
paradise
I thought that perfect love was hard to find
i'd almost given up, you must have read my mind
and all these dreams i saved for a rainy day(ooOOoo)
they're finally coming true, i'll share them all with you
cause now we hold the future in our hands
oooh almost paradise we're knocking on heavens 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
its getting closer, closer every day
almost paradise we're knocking on heavens door
almost paradise how could we ask for more?
i swear that i can see forever in your eyes
paradise
paradise
paradise
