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

Wow I can’t get enough of his voice

Old friend , missing you once again.

[@sabinekoch6208]

Best voice ever. I love Elvis ❤❤❤😘😘😘

[@rachaelduff3396]

He sung effortlessly he'll always be king . Grew up with elvis because my mum loves him truly a legend never be anyone like him . His story is heart breaking

[@wandaclark9252]

He was the best

[@MichaelWiegel-u7t]

Elvis sings in 3D, what a voice, so natural.

[@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....❤❤❤❤

[@davidwei3783]

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!

[@wendyromero9488]

Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Song and Elvis...so beautiful!!!

[@MichaelWiegel-u7t]

Elvis draws you in, you hold your breath, then you gasp for breath when the song is over !

[@resa.walters]

My Goodness, I know he's wearing makeup here, but he's so otherworldly beautiful, isn't he? I could just faint! Back in the day people in show biz had to be, and I can think of some celebs these days that are really attractive, but he takes ALL!

[@patriciajrs46]

"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.

As good as he did it here, Elvis would have killed this song if he'd sang it in the 70's.

[@seanfitzpatrick4730]

His voice was better in the better in the mid and early 60s then the 70s for this type of song The voice had some power in the 70s but the melodians tone and overall health better around this time

Elvis' acting is outstanding in this, quite impressive.

Should have been a hit Should release it on an album of little known songs but should be heard I think it would be a instant hits to Fans worldwide The King will always be the greatest Voice ever ,never to be matched.

[@daisyflowers9334]

I never much liked the movie Harem Scarum, so this song and scene from the movie I haven't seen since I was a Child, going to the movies to see this film. But oh wow, there is something about this scene and song from Elvis, that is so different from his other movie scenes. I have never seen this side of Elvis before, and him singing this song is just divine.

[@reneleclerc6119]

This is the one Elvis movie I still haven't seen - and am afraid to do so. "Clambake" was bad enough.

[@johndalton3079]

Elvis could sing a very ordinary song, and make it special, he was incredible and I loved all of his movies and know all the songs from all of them.

[@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.

[@michellewells2246]

Love this song

[@bruceschaefer4217]

Elvis could sing the phone book, and put his name or signature in it...! The real raw passion, emotion, and feeling of his style is truly evident in this song...heart felt... 🔥
