One Step Closer To Paradise by John Miles Lyrics

Spend a life time waitin' for a phone to ring
But it all comes down to just the same old thing
So you sit right down until you get that call
But your head keeps knocking off the same old wall

It's a sad day on my mind
How could you leave my love behind

Now you're scared to lose it if you take your time
But you're still walking into the same old line
So you don't find lovin' with a guarantee
You'd get the next best thing if it was up to me

But it's a sad day on my mind
How could you leave my love behind
You take me one step closer to Paradise
You give me one more reason to carry on
I'd take your lovin' at any price
So please don't say you're leaving
Don't say you're movin'
Don't say you're movin' on
You take me one step closer to Paradise
You give me one more reason to carry on
I'd take your lovin' at any price
Stay with me now say you'll stay with me

You take me one step closer to Paradise
You give me one more reason to carry on
I'd take your lovin' at any price
Say you're not leaving
Say you're not leaving
