Lucio Battisti
If Paradise Is (Half As Nice)
If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise, I'd rather have you
They say paradise is up in the stars but I needn't sigh because it's so far
'Cause I know it's worth a heaven on earth for me where you are
A look from your eyes, a touch of your hand and I seem to fly to some other land
When you are around my heart always pounds, just like a brass band

If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise, I'd rather have you
Oh yes, I'd rather have you

If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to
Who needs paradise, I'd rather have you
Oh yes, I'd rather have you

They say paradise is up in the stars but I needn't sigh because it's so far
(If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to)
'Cos I know it's worth a heaven on earth to me where you are
(Who needs paradise, I'd rather have you)
A look from your eyes a touch of your hand and I seem to fly to some other land
(If paradise is half as nice as heaven that you take me to)
