Halfway To Paradise Lyrics by Johnny Nash

What a Wonderful World

0

I want to be your lover
But your friend, is all I'll stay
I'm only half-way 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 leave me halfway to paradise
So near yet so far away
Bein' close to you is almost heaven, (heav-en)
But seein' you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure, (trea-sure)
And that my heart is forbidden to touch
So put your sweet lips close to my lips, and tell me
That's where they're gonna stay
Don't leave me half way to paradise
So near yet so far away
So near yet so far away
So near yet so far away
So near yet so far away
