Paradise Is Waiting
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

Paradise is waiting
Out beyond the city lights
Where starlight meets the desert Where it's just another night
Let me lay down here beside you Let me hold you in my hands
Let us go into the mountains
Let us cross the shifting sands
Let us spend some time together
Let us redefine forever
Let's spend some time together
And we can find forever

Never thought I'd find you
On this Old Highway
Doesn't it remind you
Of another day
When we were the kings and queens
In shadow company
Power and force behind the scenes
A darker you and me

We asked for awakening
From this broken dream
We let go of everything
We had ever seen
No more long, black limousines No more silver movie screens
Got to find another way
To make it through another day

(Chorus)

I think I just remembered
Why we all came here tonight Some came for the music
Some came to feel all right
Some came down to listen
Others came to talk
Try to give them what they need Try to walk the walk

Sometimes it's not easy
When I wake up alone
Look for an emoji
On my smart telephone
Comes a time I give up waiting Maybe try some online dating Give a viral exhibition
Upward spiral, intuition

Never thought I'd feel this way Never thought there'd come a day
I'd be so in love with you
After all you put me through
That was such a two-way thing Maybe revealing everything Anything we need to know
To get on with the show

Here's to secrets unrevealed Here's to dreams we still conceal Here's the things we'll never know
Here's to loving as we go Remember why we chose each other
Remember win or lose together Together we can find forever Together we can find forever Together we can find forever Together we can find forever

(Chorus)

Paradise is waiting
Out beyond the city lights
Where starlight meets the desert Where it's just another night
Let me lay down here beside you Let me hold you in my hands
Let us go into the mountains
Let us cross the shifting sands Let us spend some time together Let us redefine forever
Let's spend some time together And we can find forever
