Elvis Presley - So Close, Yet So Far Lyrics






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

    Just when You think you have a Favorite Song of Elvis, In My Case, “Big Love” then You Stumble On another Gem. This Entire Video /Song Sums Up My Feeling For Dr.Badran. But Since I Hitched the Wagon 31 Years Ago, I can Only Feel Like This. So Close Yet So Far. Another Time and Place I Suppose. Look to the Future and Make Sound Decisions. Get a Hold of My Actions.

    Used for a walkers crisp advert on uk tv at the moment :)

  35. K.... F....

    Beautiful singing by the king of voices .. Elvis sings from the heart ..💜

  36. J.... S....

    I’m an Elvis fan, but had never heard this until the walkers ad. I wonder how many other great Elvis songs are out there that I’m yet to here.

    J.... S....

    I'd not heard this either - don't know why it's not played as much, it's a great song that really shows his incredible voice.

  37. w.... ....

    Thank you lord for Elvis Presley! Amen.

    w.... ....

    Superb - a gift from God

    w.... ....

    He certainly was 👍

  38. M.... S....

    Walkers advert brought me here 2019 😄

    M.... S....

    Me too, I love Elvis but this one is new to me. Love it - The King

    M.... S....

    Me too x

  39. C.... L....

    Absolutely amazing voice. Without his music I'm nothing

  40. T.... M....

    Thank you for introducing me to this song... Walkers advert.

    Also thanks for uploading this video uploaderperson.

  41. W.... F....

    Now on an advert

  42. J.... G....

    Brilliant song, this the first time that I have heard of it.

  43. H.... E....

    Your paradise Elvis my paradise anyway

  44. L.... S....

    Alot of other men jelous of Elvis good looks. There was no one as beautiful as him man. They didnt make men so good looking as Elvis back then. Plus romatical singing keeps me hypnotized an attracted to him. He broke the mold.

  45. C.... J....

    Great song by the best singer of all times

  46. W.... T....

    The views will increase because of the walkers advert

  47. m.... ....

    I am here after watching Walkers crisps commercial. :-)

  48. K.... L....

    The king

  49. M.... M....

    This track is being used in an advert in the UK. Great exposure!

    M.... M....

    Michael McDonnell lol just had to prove it to my Mrs , she did not believe it was ' the great man ' .

  50. N.... M....

    Next time Priscilla puts together an album with an orchestra she should use songs such as these ie the so underrated ones, of which there are many. This song would make a great title also. The vocals are sublime.

  51. D.... B....

    42 anos de saudades

  52. E.... C....

    que voz, que respiração

  53. W.... O....

    I’m here my love.

  54. L.... G....

    As good as he did it here, Elvis would have killed this song if he'd sang it in the 70's.

    L.... G....

    His voice was better in the better in the mid and early 60s then the 70s for this type of song The voice had some power in the 70s but the melodians tone and overall health better around this time

  55. I.... L....

    Beatiful song for a beatiful movie, its my favorite movie so romantic, and the girl in the movie is so beatiful.

  56. a.... h....

    landislandoscully

  57. a.... h....

  63. R.... L....

    This evening i was listening to a series of "best voice performances" from all around the world, then i get to this underrathed song by the king, and now i can't remember any of the other songs lol. Elvis was trully in his own dimension, i can't even describe his voice it's so unique. So long story short i set this masterpiece to run on repeat for the last 2 hours, no regrets :D.

  64. C.... A....

    Hmmm ya ♥️

  65. H.... L....

    Elvis Presley will forever be remembered by his wonderful songs and classic movies. The King lives for eternity!

  66. P.... J....

    He makes it seem so effortless so beautiful his voice

  67. P.... J....

    Elvis didn't like these movies either but he was under contract as soon as he fufllled his contract he never did another movie he only wanted to do live performances so he could connect with his fans ELVIS loved his fans but that was a beautiful song

  68. E.... C....

    SUNtor....Parabéns pelo lindo vídeo ameiii Obrigada Bjs!😘💝👏👏👏 ELVIS FOREVER KING 👏👏👏👏👏

    p.... ....

    I have often thought the very same thing. 💖

  71. L.... W....

    King❤💋

  72. D.... V....

    I hope people who like "the hits" will find little gems like this one. Just because a song is not well known, does not mean it is a bad song. This is a amazing song!!!!

    D.... V....

    Another little known movie song Elvis fans should hear is "This Is My Heaven."  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWSUMooBFsY

  73. L.... F....

  79. t.... k....

    Harum scarum was not the best Elvis movie he made. The songs was good but the movie it self wouldn't be the one I would pick to watch again? The trouble with girls , stay away Joe and double trouble was also bad movies made by Elvis.( He knew that himself ) they are to painful to watch?

    t.... k....

    Yes you're right they were some bad movies but the early Elvis movies he was so good in Loving You Jailhouse Rock King Creole flaming star wild in the country Kid Galahad fun in Acapulco roustabout all good films too bad they put them in anything after a while cuz this man really could act and had a great screen presence thank you Happy New Year
