I want to be your lover
but your friend is all I stay
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 leave me
halfway to paradise
So near yet so far away
Being close to you
is almost heaven
But seeing you
can do so much
It hurts me so to know
your heart's a treasure
And 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 leave me
halfway to paradise
So near yet so far away
So near yet so far away
So near yet so far away
