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
|
