Lyrics Phyllis Hyman

Phyllis Hyman

Back To Paradise

Oh, hey

It's almost 4am

And I'm all by myself

I'm wondering when you've been

And are you in love with

Someone else

It's such a fine affair

We all most had it all

We grow old once and then

It's colder now

In any weather

I've been waiting

Here at the gates of heaven

Waiting for us

To forgive and get together

Gotta get back to paradise

Tell me what do I need to do

Gotta get back to paradise

'Cause I'm so in love with you

Can we find a way

To put the past away

To start it all anew

Distant as a star

Come on talk to me

And take me to your heart

'Cause I've been waiting paitently

We can start a fire

Warm it by degrees

Til we build it up

To the love we had together

I've been waiting

Here at the gates of heaven

Waiting for us

To forgive and get together

I got to find a way

To your heart

My darling

Along the way

And find a place

Where we went wrong

Gotta get back to

Where we belong

I've been waiting

Here at the gates of heaven

Waiting for us

To forgive and get together
