ALMOST PARADISE-白鳥英美子

Once in a dream

I saw a place encanted

A land evergreen

Where your every wish is granted

Deep is the sea

Where dolphins play together

And time's drifting free

And you wish that you could stay forever

Almost paradise

How blue the endless skies

Some say it's just a rhyme

In a lullaby

But if you believe

In almost paradise

There's peace and joy divine

Warm as a sunlit beach

Just beyond your reach

Only in a dream

Gently the waves

Keep rhythm with your heartbeat

You're safe as a babe

In a mother's arms a sleeping

Almost paradise

Close to the heart it lies

If fate should play a hand

You may see that I and

Others only dream

Almost paradise

Shines in your true love's eyes

Your love can take you there

When two hearts can share

All you dare to dream

Once in a dream

I saw a place fantastic

And strange as it seems

I was touched by something that was magic
