[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Just a step away are we from paradise
Take my hand and 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
Here am I, so close, yet so far from paradise
