Billy Fury Halfway To Paradise Lyrics

Halfway To Paradise Lyrics

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

Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
