so close, yet so far (from paradise)
(Words & music by Joy Byers) So close, yet so far from paradise I hold, you in my arms, in paradise Is mine, then you slip away Like a child at play, and here am I So close, yet so far from paradise When you, are close to me, it's paradise We kiss, oh my love, paradise Is mine, then suddenly you're gone from me Like a floating star, I see, and here am I So close, yet so far from paradise I reach out for you, but each time I do I always find you gone I know love is new, I'll take care of you In my arms is where you belong Just, a step away, are we from paradise Take my hand, come away, to paradise My love, I want you close to me I need you desperately, oh here am I Waiting for you Here am I Praying for you.
