I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cause 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

Whoa, 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 comin' true, you know I'll share them all with you
'Cause now we hold the future in our hands

Whoa, 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

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, yeah, this is paradise, paradise
