Ronettes, The - Paradise Lyrics






There is a land I know where lovers go
And flowers grow forever more
Where time is standing still
And lovers fill the quiet places by the shore
We will cross a rainbow to a place where we'll be free
Where he'll give his love to me
So I'll wait for the day when he takes me away to
Paradise, he'll take me by the hand to
Paradise, we'll walk along the sand in
Paradise, a never-never land
Paradise whooo

We'll build a castle there so we can share
The happiness we've waited for
Where white flamingo's fly way up high
Way above the ocean's roar

We will climb a mountain to see our wonderland
Maybe now you'll understand
Why I wait for the day when he'll take me away to
Paradise, he'll take me by the hand to
Paradise, we'll walk along the sand in
Paradise, a never-never land
Paradise whooo

I'll stand by him, do right by him
And I swear that I would die for him, die for him
Paradise, he'll take me by the hand to
Paradise, we'll walk along the sand in
Paradise whoooo paradise

    My Grancha (Grandad) showed me this song a year before he died and siad it was beautiful song for my Granny who had passed away the year before. 8 and 7 years later and the shock and hurt is still there and always will be but they're in a better place 💖💖💖

  50. h.... ....

    Sad they kept this under wraps. What a great song.

    wonderful.....Richly produced....and Ronnie's voice soared about the 'wall of sound'

  56. J.... P....

    LOL. On my computer screen, the fingernail pictures looks as if Estelle and Nedra have a puppy. Still enjoy the Ronettes. Miss those days. RIP, Estelle.

  57. J.... P....

    Sometimes, God spreads beauty and inspiration through the grooves of a 45 rpm record.

  58. D.... H....

    Ronnie and girls,  you  will always take me to paradise.  castles and love are in all our lives we just have to find them.  if we try and understand each other maybe we will live with love and less hate and death. I'll stand by you for all time.  Brava ladies and Phil.   God Bless You All!!  Dannyt

  63. J.... C....

    Best girl group of all time!!!

    J.... C....

    No more class acts like this group today.

    J.... C....

    Jeralyn Thomson there still is one that I'm aware of and that is the Chantels. They are still making appearances with 3 of the original members and a lead singer who has been with them for many years. If Arlene Smith joined them, it would be 4 original members and that would be pretty amazing this many years later

    J.... C....

    Thank you. I was 10 when I first heard The Chantels. "Maybe."

    J.... C....

    No doubt about that. The best.

  64. S.... W....

    Someday it's were we meet

  65. D.... P....

    Its a year later and I,m still playing it.

  66. m.... ....

    such a beautiful song. the supremes and also bette midler did magnificent versions as well. it's just a great song by the madly talented nilsson. sad though that phil spector stunted the release of this song by the ronettes and their overall career.

    m.... ....

    +mbullo Oh, how I would love to meet you! Someone who knows and appreciates music!

    m.... ....

    @Cindy Lee thank you for your kindness. music is truly a passion of mine, especially the good stuff from the 60's & 70's! keep on  listenin' on  ;)

    m.... ....

    +mbullo Oh, yes, it is my passion, too, starting at age 5 in 1964 😊 with the Orleans and Don't hang up!

    m.... ....

    Oops...the Orlons! Listening to this again...awesome song...nice to have met a fellow music lover!! Too bad Phil turned out to be a nutcase as he created a timeless music era....

  67. p.... ....

    classic !

  68. m.... m....

    my favourite  song,, just play it over and over,,,

  69. D.... P....

    How can there be only 78,531 for this masterpiece.I am posting this on 2/2/2015 having just discovered this.I have now played it 10 times and just cant get it out of my head. Absolutley incredible

    D.... P....

    C'est incroyable, c'est un chef-d'oeuvre. Je suis francophone donc je ne comprend pas bien les paroles mais la musique et la voix de Ronnie me suffit. C'est super, cela frôle la perfection. C'est un régal à entendre.

    D.... P....

    It's incredible, it's a masterpiece. I'm francophone so I do not understand the lyrics but the music and the voice of Ronnie is enough for me. It's great, it comes close to perfection. It is a treat to hear.

    D.... P....

    The back up musical tempo is superb !

    D.... P....

    Jeralyn Thomson

    D.... P....

    Yes, I play their greatest hits almost daily in my car. Perfect back up music and chorus. Ah, the brilliance of Spector !

  70. r.... r....

    Ahhh, when America was great, what happened?

    r.... r....

    @***** Great answer. I wish I could give you TWO thumbs-up!

    r.... r....

    Niels Lundgreen hjk

    r.... r....

    Ask Father Time, Rob

    r.... r....

    Liberalism and a P.C. culture, rob.

    r.... r....

    It wasn't great for everyone (hint hint wink wink mr. privilege). This music is great. But America wasn't great.

  71. d.... c....

    my god beautiful...how in the world did this music die and the rap crap took over...very sad for me...

    d.... c....

    +dan crabtree Dead right Dan when some people say rap or punk rock is better than this kind of music I totally despair,its like they must be missing part of their brain .

    d.... c....

    Derek Poutch I agree. Don't even consider that other stuff music

    d.... c....

    ask someone who works in the next trend chasing music business how that happened

    d.... c....

    dan crabtree I hate that song by Maroon 5 called "girls like you"

    It's the most over rated song that has been out only few months before this point

    EVER!!!


    all I hear out of that song is

    " Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.....yeah, yeah yeah"

    That's literally what the dude sings ^

  72. G.... R....

    Just sitting here playing Paradise over and over, maybe 6 times. I could be a great backup singer. What a terrific overlooked song.

    G.... R....

    Je l'écoute tous les jours. C'est une magnifique chanson et musique. Merci les Ronettes, on ne vous oublie pas même 50 ans après.

    G.... R....

    I listen to it every day.It is a beautiful song and music. Thank you The Ronettes, we do not even forget you 50 years later.

  73. A.... T....

    PRICELESS!!

  74. V.... P....

    My favorite female oldies group.

  75. V.... P....

    Love this group;  I would say they are my #1 oldies favorites.  Love their music.

  76. R.... S....

    hear that - but never saw them, only through vinyl and radio - 'walking in the rain' ranks as my #1 for many reasons... 

    R.... S....

    inesquecíveis maravilhas bjs

    R.... S....

    I never knew what they looked like until the 80s....never saw a  picture

    R.... S....

    Walking in the rain is one of my fave cuz I had a dream about my crush at the time and he walked me home cuz someone was stalking me and then when I got to Home he kissed me

  77. S.... A....

    "BUMP" This song was written by the GREAT Harry Nilsson!

    S.... A....

    What a star!

  78. Z.... F....

    beautiful

  79. S.... S....

    Nice find, I never knew this song existed by the Ronettes. It's now part of my collection. I was 18 when I first saw Nedra, Ronnie, and Estelle at Murray the K's Christmas show at the Brooklyn Fox Theater. I'm about Ronnie's age now, and all I can say to the teens of the 21st. Century is I'm sorry you missed all of this. It was a wonderful time of wonderful music. That's why it lives on in 2013 as long as there's someone to remember it, and someone new to discover it.

    S.... S....

    And don't forget if you got in before 11 am, they gave you a free record album. Great days indeed.

    S.... S....

    I missed this era in another way,steve..I was born in 1962... I wish that I was a teen back then !

    S.... S....

    steve,I missed it ,by being born in 1962

    S.... S....

    steve what was the christmas concert like?

    S.... S....

    STILL LISTENING IN 2019, STEVE STUNNING.

  80. K.... N....

    Great Music from one of The Greatest aggregations Of All Time. So sensual. so beautiful, so majestic. Angelic to say the least. Long Live The Ronettes!!!!!

    K.... N....

    With a sexy New York tempo. I would love to have been a back up singer to "Going to the Chapel."

    K.... N....

    I hope we will never forget the Ronettes, they are fantastic and angelic as you say.          J'espère qu'on n'oubliera jamais les Ronettes, elles sont fantastiques et angéliques comme vous dites.

  81. B.... ....

    If you heard Chapel Of Love by The Ronettes and Chapel Of Love by The Dixie Cups? Dixie Cups owned that song!

  82. h.... ....

    This should have been a huge hit if timely released and marketed at all. Masterful performance by Ronnie.

  83. g.... h....

    It's sad to know there is still people that disagree on this song so much soul wasted on deaf ears simply beautiful amen

  84. G.... J....

    Harry Nilsson is the name that keeps cropping up. A life so tragically shortened wielded such an influence, and gets re-assessed by one generation at a time - songs that are both sad as they are beautiful. One is the loneliest number.

  85. F.... ....

    mike,the ronettes did record Chapel of love\'''
    but leader of the pack ? I don;t thinkthat The ronettes would;ve been the right girl group to record that particular song..
    since ,it's abotu someone dying

    F.... ....

    Shangri-las had recorded Leader of the Pack

  86. J.... H....

    Love this song

  87. T.... ....

    Played by Brian Mattews on Radio 2's Sounds of the Sixties this morning, Briliant!!!!!!!!!!

  88. m.... ....

    That booming chorus is just wonderful. It's a shame it didn't become a hit, it certainly sounds like one.

  89. S.... N....

    The Ronettes consisted of lead singer Veronica Bennett (later known as Ronnie Spector), her older sister Estelle Bennett, and their cousin Nedra Talley. The girls had sung together since they were teenagers, when they were known as "The Darling Sisters." Ronnie still performs, but sadly Estelle died in February 2009. Nedra Talley is now Nedra talley Ross, married to Scott Ross and mother to four children, and has not been involved in the music business for many years.

  90. J.... ....

    I'm not trying too be funny or a wisenhimmer but does anyone know if the Ronettes were triplets? they sure look it to me. Awesome music.

    J.... ....

    No, Ronnie and Estelle are sisters. Nedra is their cousin.

  91. p.... c....

    I THINK THIS WOULD GET IN THE CHARTS NOW, IF THEY RELEASED IT AND PLAYED IT ON THE RADIO, REMEMBER THE RADIO FOLKS? LOVE IT!

  92. s.... ....

    Think we've all arrived here via the BBC Australia.
    Not released till a few years after it was recorded in 65.
    What a great haunting song, really gets into your head.
    Sounds like a classic but unfortunately never was.

  93. S.... N....

    Now on my iPod and on its fourth play in about 15 mins.

  94. b.... ....

    Snap.I am just the same.Searched for ages.thanks BBC2

  95. N.... T....

    I canny stop humming it lol...

  96. T.... S....

    This song is better than Australia #paradise

  97. r.... B....

    Still playing and playing this song, means so much to me, it takes me away

  98. t.... y....

    took me hours to find this....worth it. bbc 2,,thank you
