(Words & music by Joy Byers)
|
So close, yet so far from paradise
|
I hold, you in my arms, in paradise
|
Is mine, then you slip away
|
Like a child at play, and here am I
|
So close, yet so far from paradise
|
|
When you, are close to me, it's paradise
|
We kiss, oh my love, paradise
|
Is mine, then suddenly you're gone from me
|
Like a floating star, I see, and here am I
|
So close, yet so far from paradise
|
|
I reach out for you, but each time I do
|
I always find you gone
|
I know love is new, I'll take care of you
|
In my arms is where you belong
|
|
Just, a step away, are we from paradise
|
Take my hand, come away, to paradise
|
My love, I want you close to me
|
I need you desperately, oh here am I
|
Waiting for you
|
Here am I
|
Praying for you
|
Here am I, so close, yet so far from paradise
|
