[00:08.44]I want to be your lover
[00:15.74]But your friend is all I''ve stayed
[00:22.57]I''m only halfway to paradise
[00:31.20]So near, yet so far away
[00:37.62]
[00:38.39]I long for your lips to kiss my lips
[00:47.13]But just when I think they may
[00:53.95]You lead me halfway to paradise
[01:02.66]So near, yet so far away
[01:09.43]
[01:11.36]Bein'' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
[01:18.70]But seein'' you can do just so much
[01:26.49]It hurts me so to know your heart''s a treasure (treasure)
[01:34.45]And that my heart is forbidden to touch, so
[01:41.64]Put your sweet lips close to my lips
[01:49.17]And tell me that''s where they''re gonna stay
[01:56.94]Don''t lead me halfway to paradise
[02:05.71]So near, yet so far away
[02:12.17]Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away
[02:19.92]Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
