[00:00.00]

[00:08.60]I want to be your lover

[00:15.43]But your friend is all I've stayed

[00:22.51]I'm only halfway to paradise

[00:31.17]So near, yet so far away

[00:37.40]

[00:38.37]I long for your lips to kiss my lips

[00:47.03]But just when I think they may

[00:53.85]You lead me halfway to paradise

[01:02.62]So near, yet so far away

[01:09.45]

[01:11.37]Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)

[01:18.40]But seein' you can do just so much

[01:26.44]It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure (treasure)

[01:34.22]And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so

[01:42.12]Put your sweet lips close to my lips

[01:49.06]And tell me that's where they're gonna stay

[01:56.86]Don't lead me halfway to paradise

[02:05.54]So near, yet so far away

[02:12.02]Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away

[02:19.87]Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away

[02:26.70]
