Paradise '83
Recorded by Vern Gosdin
Written by Buddy Cannon, Vern Gosdin, Mickey Baker
CThat Florida moon was shinning bright
Like it did that summer night in 'F83
When I Cfell for you you G7fell for me
CWind was blowing G7in your Chair
I can almost smell your perfume Flinger there
CReminding me of G7you in '8C3
FNow of all the places I could CbeG7  
Any Cplace is no place if you’re not there for G7me
FAnybody else would be in CparadiseAm  
But for Fme it's been no G7paradise since 198C3
And now another night comes to an end
Another golden sunrise makes me Fblue again
What a Cshame to see no G7you and me
CLove is shinning G7on the Cbay
But to me it's just another Frainy day
CReminding me of G7you in '8C3
NFow of all the places I could bCeG7  
Any Cplace is no place if you’re not there for G7me
FAnybody else would be in CparadiseAm  
But for Fme it's been no G7paradise since 198C3
But for Fme it's been no DmparadiseG7  
Since back in 198C3
