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 (heaven)
But seein` you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart`s a treasure (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
FADE
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
