(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
