from Heart's "Almost Paradise" |
Almost Published Now I’m sure that dreams belong to other scribes ‘Cause each time I submit, rejection does reply I fear my words will never be revealed I face the final “no” Oh how am I to know If all my time is wasted on my muse? Almost published now I’m knocking on agents’ doors Almost published now How can I get in stores? I swear that I can see my stories on the shelves Published now I think the perfect words escape my mind I may just give it up Or I may go run and hide ‘Cause all the dreams I have here in my brain Are finally fading through I swear that I’ll turn blue If some of my words don’t end up in your hands Whoa, almost published now I’m knocking on agents’ doors Almost published now How can I get in stores? I swear that I can see my stories on the shelves Published now And in your thoughts my stories will fly away My dreams are closer Closer as I say… Almost published now I’m knocking on agents’ doors Almost published now How can I get in stores? I swear that I can see my stories on the shelves Published now Published now Written September 3, 2006 for
original lyrics: Almost Paradise (Anne Wilson and Mike Reno) I thought that dreams belonged to other men Cuz 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 I thought that perfect love was hard to find I'd almost given up You must've read my mind And all those dreams I saved for a rainy day They're finally coming true I'll share them all with you Cuz 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 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 http://www.80sretromusic.com/lyrics/paradise.htm |
