Halfway To Paradise:Billy Fury.
#3 in 1961.
#1.***(Check it out on YouTube.)***
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.
#2.
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...
CHORUS:
Being close to you is almost heaven.
But seeing you can do just so much.
It hurts me so to know your heart s a treasure..
and that my heart is forbidden to tou...ch, so...
#3.
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,
Oh, so near, yet so far away. (Last line x2.)
