Lyrics

You took me halfway to heaven
Now you're halfway out the door
(You must have done something like this a time or two before)
Did you have to be so mean?
Did you really mean to be so cruel?
Or were you just afraid to be a fool
Who falls in love with me?
Would it really be
Such a big mistake
Not to break my heart?

Halfway to heaven
Halfway
Is better than not having you at all
Halfway to heaven
Is such a long, long way to fall.
Are you really sure?
Wouldn't it be easier
To fall in love and see?
You might eas'ly be surprised
If you'll just open up your heart
And let love
Open up your eyes

You took me halfway to heaven
(Halfway) *optional
And now you say
You're not in love
(What in heaven were you dreamin' of?)
I believed I was dreaming of you
What 'cha gonna do?
Are you gonna lie?
Are you gonna try and tell me
Dreams can never come true?
I don't believe it!
There are those who do
I don't want to believe
That you were there
And didn't feel
The love I know was real.

---instrumental interlude ---

Halfway to heaven (halfway)
You know it doesn't have to end like this --
Couldn't we have at least one more kiss?
I believe in believing in love
What 'cha dreamin' of?
I've been dreaming that we were halfway there,
Halfway to heaven
So I say a prayer
'Cause I want to believe that you still care,
And I believe
That you don't really want to leave

You took me halfway to heaven

We're already halfway to heaven

You took me halfway to heaven.
