lyrics
Paradise
Written by Lillia Auzou & John von Ahlen
Intro
It's gonna be like Paradise x2
Verse 1
We were standing at a cross road
I felt so torn apart
I was standing alone in the rain
And you were just another lonely heart
Pre Chorus
We are crossing over the rivers of life
You think the other side, would be like paradise
But we are still two very lonely hearts
Living on the other side of a bridge over water
Chorus
The time has come to let you go
Let you go
The time has come to let you go
Let you go
Verse 2
We were drifters in the dark, searching for love
Drawn to each other by the need of another
We walked into the unknown together
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
I'm gonna let you go (x8)
Pre Chorus 2
The time has come to let you go, to let you go (x4)

Additional Information:
Paradise was originally written in 1993 when John and Lillia were in a dance band called Nova (Sony Music Australia).
Nova recorded 3 albums worth of material, but sadly only 2 singles ever saw the light of day.
Marcella Detroit was a vocalist in the band Shakespeares Sister, appeared in the BBC TV Show Absolutely Fabulous and sang backing vocals on "I've Had The Time of my Life" by Dave Warner and Jennifer Beales.
