This Nearly Was Mine

"One partner in paradise ..."

    If you are dreaming of paradise, perhaps this song is a good place to start.  A former Broadway singer, who is now a nurse anesthetist, mentionned to me the other day that he used to work with a wonderful bartione and actor, named Robert Goulet. I said what was your favorite song to perform with Robert Goulet. He answered : "This Nearly Was Mine" from the Broadway musical "South Pacific".
    I feel like soaring to see the woman of my dreams after listenening to this song. See if you feel weightless too.

Listen to Robert Goulet sing "This Nearly Was Mine" from "South Pacific".
   

South Pacific is about prejudices and love. Is skin color more important than love? Should age differences in a couple be a barrier to reject love offered? In this insightful commentary on the musical, the writer reminds us that we must not let our human prejudices isolate us from each other. Love is a strong enough emotion to overcome and drive away our pre-conditions, superstitions, and preconceptions.
