Lyrics:

I want to be your loverBut your friend is all I've stayedI'm only halfway to paradiseSo near, yet so far awayI long for your lips to kiss my lipsBut just when I think they mayYou lead me halfway to paradiseSo near, yet so far away, mmmBein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)But seein' you can do just so muchIt hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)And that my heart is forbidden to touch, soPut your sweet lips close to my lipsAnd tell me that's where they're gonna stayDon't lead me halfway to paradiseMmm, so near, yet so far awayOh, uh, oh so near, yet so far awayYeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
