halfway to paradise

i want to be your lover

but your friend is all i've stayed

i'm only halfway to paradise

so near

yet so far away

i long for your lips to kiss my lips

but just when i think they may

you lead me halfway to paradise

so near

yet so far away

mmm

bein' close to you is almost heaven

but seein' you can do just so much

it hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure

and that my heart is forbidden to touch

so

put your sweet lips close to my lips

and tell me that's where they're gonna stay

don't lead me halfway to paradise

mmm

so near

yet so far away

oh

uh

oh so near

yet so far away

yeah

yeah so near

yet so far away
