"Halfway To Paradise" lyrics

"Halfway To Paradise"
(originally by Tony Orlando)

I want to be your lover
But your friend is all I stay
Don't leave me halfway to paradise
So near yet so far away

I want your sweet lips next to my lips
But just when I think they may
You leave me halfway to paradise
So near yet so far away

Ooh, being close to you is almost heaven
For I still can make only so much
It hurts me some, to know your heart's a treasure
That my heart is within reach to touch

So put your sweet lips next to my lips
And tell me that's where they'll stay
Don't leave me halfway to paradise
So near yet so far, so near yet so far
So near yet so far away
