Lyrics
- Love made our blue heaven just exactly right
A Paradise where we just seemed to belong
Something changed our heaven, changed it over night
Just when things seemed right, something went wrong
Chorus
Trouble in paradise! How did it start?
We were in Paradise, now we’re apart
We were so gay in love, eager to stay in love
Dream life away in love, heart to heart
Trouble in paradise! Ended our dreams
Trouble in paradise, strange as it seems
Lonely am I again, learning to cry again
Paying the price for trouble in paradise!
- In our heart’s fair garen sun has turned to rain
We’ve let Love’s flowers fade, not counting the cost
Did our lovely garden bloom for us in vain?
Can’t we still regain Paradise lost?
