Elvis Presley - So Close Yet So Far (From Paradise) - Studio Edit

GREAT SONG FROM HARUM SCARUM (HOLIDAY)
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

Never heard him sing this, thought I'd heard them all, absolutely beautiful

[@ddmcpaisley6299]

This movie was cheesy; but this song is simply one of the most beautiful songs ever, ever.

[@diegovb1145]

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!!!!

[@reneleclerc6119]

Another little known movie song Elvis fans should hear is "This Is My Heaven." kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYi2hoClpKd5qbs

[@kerrypapworth1526]

I agree this song is gorgeous. He puts so much feeling into it and the song showcases his divine voice. One of my favourites. 💕💕

[@karenthompson1539]

"Wonderful World" from his Flaming Star album is another great one that is not well known. The energy and emotion he puts into the song sends chills.

[@wendyromero9488]

Absolutely!!! His voice, the passion is awesome!!

[@joycejoline2627]

It doesn't matter if the movie or song got good reviews or not, Elvis could sing any song because he sang any song with his heart and soul.... Elvis knew how to entertain and sing his songs from his heart, you could feel it in your own heart....no one can ever compare...... forever in our hearts....❤❤❤❤

Give Elvis a song to sing, he will sing it and the song will come alive. Try to cover a song by Elvis and you will see what extraordinary and inimitable skills & charisma he had. He was, is and will always be the greatest!

To this day his voice makes me smile and heart flutters. He was a handsome man.

[@azlenny54]

This is a great timeless song, that just about anyone can identify with at many times in their life, no matter what their situation in life is. There is a reason that there is only one Real King, and no one has ever been better than Elvis. His life was tragically cut short, but his memory and his music are eternal. I can still remember, driving on Long Island, to play softball, and when I switched through the radio stations when I got to a hard rock station, they too were playing Elvis's songs and I instantly knew something was tragically wrong. But his greatest gifts to the world were his music and his daughter, Lisa Marie.

[@carenhollis3393]

OH MY MY MY!!!!! When he sings it goes Straight. THRU MY BONES!!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE! !!!! Can sing to me FOREVER! !!!!! MISS U MAN!!!

I love this song. Elvis sang it with such feeling and emotion. It's very good for a movie song. It shouldve been a top 10 hit for him. I hope it was released as a single. This is a beautiful sad song. I can just feel the soul and energy in elvis' voice. Great song by the king, too bad it wasn't a hit.
