(words & music by joy byers)

So close, yet so far from paradise

I hold, you in my arms, in paradise

Is mine, then you slip away

Like a child at play, and here am i

So close, yet so far from paradise



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



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



Just, a step away, are we from paradise

Take my hand, 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
