Elvis Presley - So Close, Yet So Far (from Paradise) lyrics

rate me

(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
