All my life I struggled to be free Through heat and thunder I just tried to be me I'd rather be alone Than in bad company A strong-headed woman You know I'll always be But baby now When you touch me there And you kiss me there And you soothe me there I'm singing like the birds in the trees When you touch me there And you kiss me there And you soothe me there I shimmer like the moon on the sea CHORUS: I'm not so far from Paradise I'm in Heaven I'm not so far from Paradise I'm in Heaven God knows sometimes it's hard to be alone And you wonder when When some soul brother will come along There were long lone nights Endless nights where I Would toss and turn Ache and burn inside But baby now When you touch me there And you kiss me there And you soothe me there I'm singing like the birds in the trees When you touch me there And you kiss me there And you soothe me there I shimmer like the moon on the sea
