If paradise is half as nice 
As heaven that you take me to 
Who needs paradise, 
I'd rather have you 

They say paradise is up in the stars 
But I needn't sigh because it's so far 
Coz I know it's worth a heaven on earth 
For me where you are 

A look from your eyes, touch from your hand 
And I seem to fly to some other land 
When you are around my heart always pounds 
Just like a brass band 

If paradise is half as nice 
As heaven that you take me to 
Who needs paradise,
I'd rather have you 
Oh yes I'd rather have you 

La la la la

La la la la la 
La la la la la 

If paradise is half as nice 
As heaven that you take me to 
Who needs paradise, 
I'd rather have you 
Oh yes, I'd rather have you 

La la la la 
La la la la 
La la la la

La la la la la 
La la la la la 

They say paradise is up in the stars 
But I needn't sigh because it's so far 
Coz I know it's worth a heaven on earth 
For me where you are 

A look from your eyes, a touch from your hand 
And I seem to fly to some other land 
When you are around......FADE
