Carole King - Halfway to Paradise

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, mmm

Bein' close to you is almost heaven (heaven)

But seein' 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

Mmm, so near, yet so far away

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

Mmm, so near, yet so far away
