This Nearly Was Mine . . .

My spring break escape plan, after months of engineering and a hefty deposit on a cabin, maybe be crumbling into dust. I am reminded of the lovely and regretful voice of Rossano Brazzi singing:


"Now, now I'm alone,
Still dreaming of paradise,
Still saying that paradise
Once nearly was mine!"

Okay, his storyline in SOUTH PACIFIC was sadder than my story, but it's still a good theme song for the loss of my idyllic getaway.

(Lyrics from "This Nearly Was Mine" from SOUTH PACIFIC).
