Bobby Vinton 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
FADE
Yeah, yeah so
near, yet so far away
