Almost Paradise [Love Theme from Footloose] Lyrics

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 know
That all my life I only needed you

[Chorus:]
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
´Cus now we hold the future in your hands

[Chorus:]

And in your arms salvation´s not so far away
We´re gettin' closer, closer every day

[Chorus:]
