Everyone’s dreaming of better times, whether here on earth or in heaven. In this song, the singers think we’re close to realizing our dreams of salvation in paradise.
The hard times are here and people feel it too much, however, hope is near as much anyone needs. Everyone’s waiting for a forever that lasts forever and ever with with uniting bond of love.
Lyrics below
I thought that dreams belonged to other men‘Cause each time I got closeThey’d fall apart again
I feared my heart would beat in secrecyI faced the nights aloneOh, how could I have knownThat all my life I only needed you?
Oh almost paradiseWe’re knockin’ on heaven’s doorAlmost paradiseHow could we ask for more?I swear that I can see forever in your eyesParadise
It seems like perfect love’s so hard to findI’d almost given upYou must have read my mind
And all these dreams I saved for a rainy dayThey’re finally coming trueI’ll share them all with you‘Cause now we hold the future in our hand
Oh Almost paradiseWe’re knockin’ on heaven’s doorAlmost paradiseHow could we ask for more?I swear that I can see forever in your eyesParadise
And in your arms salvation’s not so far awayIt’s getting closerCloser every day
Almost paradiseWe’re knockin’ on heaven’s doorAlmost paradiseHow could we ask for more?I swear that I can see forever in your eyesParadiseParadiseParadise
