(Words & music by Joy Byers)So close, yet so far from paradiseI hold, you in my arms, in paradiseIs mine, then you slip awayLike a child at play, and here am ISo close, yet so far from paradiseWhen you, are close to me, it's paradiseWe kiss, oh my love, paradiseIs mine, then suddenly you're gone from meLike a floating star, I see, and here am ISo close, yet so far from paradiseI reach out for you, but each time I doI always find you goneI know love is new, I'll take care of youIn my arms is where you belongJust, a step away, are we from paradiseTake my hand, come away, to paradiseMy love, I want you close to meI need you desperately, oh here am IWaiting for youHere am IPraying for you
