…[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Nearly once did I pull David Beckham
Instead, he went and copped off with your mate
Nearly once did I defeat…
…'nearly'
Is we long for day when someonе loves us dearly
We wеnt so close, yes, we did really
We were this far away from love…
…[Chorus]
And that's the reason why we hate 'nearly'
Is we long for day when someone loves us dearly
We went so close, yes, we did really
We were this far away from love sincerely…
…[EMILY]
One dream in my heart
One love to be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine
One girl for my dream
One…
…partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to…
…be livin' for
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies…
One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine
One girl for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly…
…was mine
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies…
…be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day flies from…
One dream in my heart,
One love to be livin' for,
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine.
One man for my dream,
One…
…partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart he came
Only to fly away,
Only to…
…love to be livin' for,
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart he came
Only to fly away,
Only to…
One dream in my heart,
One love to be livin' for,
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine.
One girl for my dream,
One…
…partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away,
Only to…
…love to be livin' for,
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away,
Only to…
Emily:
One dream in my heart,
One love to be livin' for,
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine.
One girl for my dream…
…
One partner in paradise,
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away,
Only to…
…
One love to be livin' for,
One love to be livin' for
This nearly was mine.
Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away,
Only to…
One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine
One man for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly…
…was mine
Close to my heart he came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day
Flies…
…from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Once nearly was mine
So clear…

One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine
One man for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly…
…was mine
Close to my heart he came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day
Flies…
…from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Once nearly was mine
So clear…
One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine
One man for my dream
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly…
…was mine
Close to my heart he came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day
Flies…
…from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still saying that paradise
Once nearly was mine
So clear…
…be free
Of you and me
For now you know
(Once upon a time I gave my love to someone)
You have to be
(And I am afraid I nearly lost myself)
[Verse 2…
…/Hodder & Pisapia]
Once upon a time I gave my love to someone and I am afraid I nearly gave away myself
(Once upon a time)
Can you…
…without a fear again)
For now we know
(Once upon a time I gave my love to someone)
We have to be
(And I am afraid I nearly lost…
Pisapia]
Can you be free
In you and me
For now you know
(Once upon a time I gave my love to someone)
You have to be
(And I am afraid I…
…nearly lost myself)
[Chorus 2: Liz Hodder]
Like in the sunshine
That longs to [?] us both
Too close together
Shadows may hide…
…our growth
[Bridge: Liz Hodder, Joe Pisapia, Hodder & Pisapia]
Once upon a time I gave my love to someone and I am afraid I nearly…
One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine
One girl for my dreams
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly…
…from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine
Close to my heart she…
…came
Only to fly away
Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlight
Now, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine…
…it all away
Could we go back once again?
I learnt to carry on,
I learnt to face another day,
Without her, without her trace.
So close we…
…nearly touched,
I almost took her hand in mine,
Time can fall away
But nothing can change the man inside
Or bring us back the love…
…without her trace.
So close we nearly touched,
I almost took her hand in mine,
Time can fall away
But nothing can change the man inside
Or bring us back the love once we denied…
Smile/How Deep Is the Ocean?/This Nearly Was Mine
Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me
the song that I've been waiting to hear,
just…
…be living for,
one love to be living for,
this nearly was mine!
One girl for my dreams,
one partner in paradise,
this promise of paradise,
this nearly…
…alone
still dreaming of paradise,
still sayin' that paradise
once nearly was mine!
Only to fly as day
flies from moonlight!
Now…
…>
And if I ever lost you,
how much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean,
how high is the sky?
One dream in my heart,
one love to…
…be living for,
one love to be living for,
this nearly was mine!
One girl for my dreams,
one partner in paradise,
this promise of paradise,
this nearly…
…alone
still dreaming of paradise,
still sayin' that paradise
once nearly was mine!
