halfway to paradise

Tina Charles

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

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

Bein'close to you is almost heaven to me
But seein you can do so much (oh babe)
It hurts me so to know your heart a treasure oh yeah
And that my heart is forbidden to touch

Put your sweet lips, close to my lips
And tell me that's where they're stay
Don't lead me halfway to Paradise
So near yet so far away

Halfway, halfway to Paradise oh
Halfway, in the way to Paradise
