So Close, Yet So Far (From Paradise)

So close, yet so far from paradise
I hold you in my arms, and 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 desp'rately, oh here am I...
Waiting for you...
Here am I...
Praying for you...
Here am I, so close, yet so far from paradise
