I thought that dreams belonged to other men 'Cause each time I got close, they'd fall apart again I feel my heart a-beating in secrecy I face the nights alone, oh how could I have known? In all my life I only needed you Oh, almost paradise We're knocking on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more? I swear that I could see forever in your eyes, Paradise It seems that perfect love's so hard to find I'd almost given up, you must have read my mind And all these dreams I save for a rainy day They're finally coming true, I'll share them all with you 'Cause now we hold the future in our hands Oh, almost paradise We're knocking on heaven's door Almost paradise How could we ask for more? I swear that I could 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 could see forever in your eyes, Paradise Paradise Paradise

Mike Reno (nŽ Joseph Michael Rynoski, born January 8, 1955) is a Canadian musician and lead singer of Loverboy and a drummer. He has also fronted other bands, including Moxy. Born in New Westminster, British Columbia, after graduating high school, Reno moved to Calgary, Alberta. There, he met Paul Dean in 1978 and got together for a jam session, which led to the formation of Loverboy. Reno has also contributed to film soundtracks. In 1984, he performed a duet with Ann Wilson of Heart, "Almost Paradise," for the movie Footloose and, with Loverboy, contributed "Heaven in Your Eyes" for the movie Top Gun, in 1986. In the late 90's, during a VH-1 interview, Reno attributed the decline of Loverboy to the rise of grunge bands like Nirvana. As of 2007, Reno continues to tour and play live shows with Loverboy. The band's next album, Back For More, is due for release in the summer. Ann Dustin Wilson (born June 19, 1950 in San Diego, California) is the lead singer and flute player of Heart. Wilson's family moved around as a child because her father was a Marine Corps colonel. The family eventually settled in Bellevue, a suburb of Seattle, Washington. Shy due to a stutter, Wilson turned to music, and in the early 1970s she joined a local band, Whiteheart, which, in 1974, changed its name to Heart. Her younger sister Nancy joined the group in 1974. The band moved to Canada and cut their first album Dreamboat Annie in Vancouver in 1975. It was released in the United States in 1976. In 1977, Little Queen was released. She also sang the duet "Almost Paradise" with Mike Reno in the movie Footloose. Ann started a recording studio, Bad Animals, with her sister in the mid-1990s. She formed a side band, The Lovemongers, which performed Battle of Evermore on the soundtrack to brother-in-law Cameron Crowe's 1992 movie Singles and later released a four-song EP. The band's debut album Whirlygig was released in 1997. Ann adopted her daughter Marie in 1991 and her son Dustin in 1998. She underwent a weight-loss surgery called Adjustable gastric band in January 2002 after what she calls "a lifelong battle" with her weight. In June 2004, Heart released Jupiter's Darling, which is a popular favorite among classic rock stations. In 2006, Ann began recording her first solo album, "Hope & Glory", produced by the legendary Ben Mink, and released by the Rounder (Zoe) Music Group on September 11, 2007. "Hope & Glory" features guest appearances from Elton John, k.d. lang, Alison Krauss, Gretchen Wilson, Shawn Colvin, Rufus Wainwright, Wynonna Judd and Deana Carter. Ann's sister, Nancy, also contributed.
