So close, yet so far from paradise

C Caug C6 Caug C

I hold, you in my arms, and paradise

Is mine, then you slip away

Like a child at play

C Em F G | C Caug | C6 Caug |

And here am I: So close, yet so far from paradise

C Caug C6 Caug | C Caug | C6 Caug |

When you, are close to me, it's paradise

C Caug C6 Caug C

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

C Caug C6 Caug | C Caug | C6 Caug |

Just, a step away, are we from paradise

C Caug C6 Caug C

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
