Halfway to Paradise Lyrics

in 1961.
INTRO: E B E
#1.
I want to be your lover,
but your friend is all I've stayed.
I'm only halfway to paradise.
So near, yet so far, away.
#2.
I long for your lips to kiss my lips,
but just when I think they may,
you lead me halfway to paradise,
so near, yet so far away..mmm..
CHORUS:
Being close to you is almost heaven.
But seeing you can do just so much.
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure..
and that my heart is forbidden to tou...ch, so...
#3.
Put your sweet lips close to my lips,
and tell me that's where they're gonna stay.
Don't lead me halfway to paradise,
Oh, so near, yet so far away.
OUTRO:
so near, yet so far away.
so near, yet so far away.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
