Halfway To Paradise(Album Version) - Jimmy Ruffin

作词：Carole King/Gerry Goffin

作曲：Carole King/Gerry Goffin

I want to be your lover

But your friend is all I'll stay

I'm only half way to paradise

So near yet so far away

I long for your lips your lips to kiss my lips

But just when I think they may

You leave me halfway to paradise

So near yet so far away

So far away

Bein' close to you is almost heaven

Heaven heaven heaven

But seein' you it can do just so much

Just so much

Just so much

It know your hurts me so to know

Your heart's a treasure

Your heart's a 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 leave me half way to paradise

So near yet so far away

So far away

O baby baby baby baby

So near yet so far away
