Halfway To Paradise Lyrics - Bobby Vinton

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, mmm 

Bein' close to you is almost heaven 

(Heaven) 

But seein' you can do just so much 

It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure 

(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 lead me halfway to paradise 

Mmm, so near, yet so far away
