I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cause each time I got close they'd fall apart again
I feared my heart would be in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
Oh how could I have known
That 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 can see forever in your eyes
Paradise, yeah it's 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 coming true
you know, I'll share them all with you
'Cause now we hold the future in our hands

oh, oh 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, oh 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, oh it's paradise

Paradise, yes it's paradise
Paradise
