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
