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

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
