HALFWAY TO PARADISE - Billy Fury
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
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
(BRIDGE)
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
That my heart is forbidden to tou - ch, 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 so near, yet so far away . .
Oh, uh, oh so near, yet so far away . . .
Yeah, yeah so near, yet so far away
