Halfway to Paradise

Half Way To Paradise - Tony Orlando

I want to be your lover

But your friend is all I've stayed

You leave me 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

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 sweet your lips to close my lips

But just when I think they may

You lead me halfway to paradise

Baby so near yet so far away

Baby baby so near yet so far away

Baby baby so near yet so far away
