Halfway to Paradise Songtext
von Billy Fury

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


Being close to you is almost heaven (heaven)
But seeing you can do just so much
It hurts me so to know your heart′s a treasure (treasure)
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 lead me halfway to paradise
So near, yet so far away

Oh, oh, oh, so near, yet so far away
So near, yet so far away
