Almost Paradise (Love Theme From Footloose) Lyrics

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?

Oh-ooh
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've 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
'Cause now we hold the future in our hands

Oh-ooh
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

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
Paradise
Paradise
