HALFWAY TO PARADISE. Writers: Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Lyrics: I want to be your lover. But your friend is all I've stayed. I'm only halfway to paradise. So near, yet so far away. I long for your lips to kiss my lips. But just when I think they may. You lead me halfway to paradise. So near, yet so far away. Bein' close to you is almost heaven.
