So close yet so far from paradise I hold you in my arms in paradise Is mine then you slip away Like a child at play and here am I So close yet so far from paradise When you are close to me it's paradise We kiss oh my love paradise Is mine then suddenly you're gone from me Like a floating star I see and here am I So close yet so far from paradise I reach out for you but each time I do I always find you gone I know love is new I'll take care of you In my arms is where you belong Just a step away are we from paradise Take my hand come away to paradise my love I want you close to me I need you desperately oh here am I Waiting for you here am I Praying for you here am I So close yet so far from paradise
