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

(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
