Farnham, John - A Touch Of Paradise Lyrics






Flamingos walk, and sway in peace
Seeing this, it makes my troubles cease
The sun is hiding, leaving a pink scar
That stretches right across the sky
That's all we've seen so far
And all I do is look into your eyes

For that special touch of paradise
Just a touch, a touch of paradise
Just a special touch of paradise

You hold my hand, that's when we kiss
And it doesn't take long no, until I get the gist
Of this love that stretches out across the land
Where rainbows flash, as we're walking in the sand
And all I do is look into your eyes

A touch of spring, and autumn sweet
Well the trees vibrate when our eyes meet
And I think of all the love that we have been making
You touch my hand and I walk off shaking
And all I do is look into your eyes

    H.... E....

    +eXDax YES!! ive growen up listening to him and this song melts my heart every time !! and burn for you is another one of my favourites! hes so legendary !

  52. S.... S....

    He and Jimmy Barnes have to wot the most powerful and distinctive voiced in the industry.. Watch John's mic technique too, he has to pull back one so many of those notes, he just hammers them out, pure vocal power... Makes it look easy but you know he's working really hard up there...

    S.... S....

    Steve Stewart-Sturges Jimmy Barnes sucks

  53. H.... ....

    Beautiful mate! You're incredible jus awesome

  54. b.... ....

    such a powerful weapon. much respect.

  55. a.... ....

    Oh, John....love you :-)

  56. k.... t....

    Man that dude has a mean voice

    k.... t....

    +kiriwai te whero
    It is twenty years or more since I saw him live 'in the pubs' and I can tell you he had an electrifying stage persona. I was never a big fan of 'young Johnny' until the night I saw him perform a bracket and come back for an encore or three.
    BRILLIANT. His TV/audio performance is NOT A PATCH on the live Johnny that I saw.

    k.... t....

    +kiriwai te whero
    Such a pity that he tarnished his reputation with so many farewell concerts.

    k.... t....

    +slimchancetoo yup he was soo good in the 80s ...love the song he sings with jimmy Barnes an d Jonny desil best Eva 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾☺️

    k.... t....

    Many more Aussie's who can sing than most other countries Mate!!!!

    k.... t....

    slimchancetoo His reputation can never be tarnished, you don’t know the full story so keep your opinion to yourself until you do.

  57. K.... K....

    The voice of a generation. The voice of our generation. A living legend.

  58. H.... K....

    A Legend ! Best live entertainer ! Loves his work !

  59. F.... W....

    just gotta smile watching this master.

  60. J.... B....

    god bless you...

  61. D.... T....

    Loving this to tears - again - playing it over and over - BEAUTIFUL JOHNNY!

  63. D.... E....

  64. M.... K....

    Great Voice & Great Entertainer :-)

  65. R.... ....

    Beautiful Melody performed by John Farnham, Written by Ross Wilson.
    Fantabulous Song:))

  66. S.... O....

    ****  B  E  A  U  T  I  F  U  L  ****

  67. M.... L....

    Love Love Love his beautiful voice. He is thee only older guy that I would love to be with. I would ask him to sing me to sleep every night xxx

  68. A.... H....

    i've been wishing and hoping so much for that. i know where that paradise is, it's just a point of getting through the human mistakes to get there.....GOT IT? i'm hoping..YES!

    A.... H....

    this also reminds me of sonia dada!

  69. b.... ....

    did peter ots direct this? looks like his stuff.very nice "bovver""

  70. S.... I....

    I love when he hands "walk off shaking" to the audience and then you think "aww he did that cos he cant hit the high note".......then he nails even higher ones seconds later.

    S.... I....

    He's got a fifth octave voice.

    S.... I....

    Cheeky bastard! Lol. World class. The story behind Whispering Jack adds to the...mystique and the fact it was make or break, financially. He deserved it. Love this song. There's certain notes he hits that literally sends a shiver up my spine and the hair on my head tingles. No drug or substance can convey the same feeling. Thanks for the memories.

    S.... I....

    I was thinking *exactly* the same thing. 99.99% of the time the singer exhorts the audience to sing the big notes because they can't consistently get there night after night themselves.
    Farnam is incredibly gifted and underrated everywhere save Oz.

  71. D.... ....

    True legend, thanks for making Australia your home and making us Aussies so god damn proud ...Best Aussie artist ever, and my fave song. Love u John :-)

  72. K.... J....

    had this played at our wedding in the UK, brilliant..........

    K.... J....

    Our John Had Massive Success their In the UK back in the 80s 90s and early 2000s

  73. D.... R....

    Here's a interesting fact for you about John Farnham he's the only artist local of foreign to have achieved number one status on the Australian chart in five consecutive decades 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and Naughties (2000-2010) there's a reason why he's know as "The Voice".

    D.... R....

    He's the VOICE!!!!

    D.... R....

    he is Australian

    D.... R....

    His voice 🥰 one of his biggest fans ❤️❤️❤️

    D.... R....

    what are the no1s?

  74. H.... S....

    FARNHAM BEAUTIFUL SONG!
    Flamingos walk and sway in peace
    seeing this it makes my troubles cease
    the sun is hiding leaving a pink scar
    that stretches right across the sky
    that's all it seems so far
    and all I do is look into your eyes for that special touch of paradise..
