From A Distance


Somehow I knew
When I left you that night
That although I'd never be the same
I would be alright.
When I looked into your eyes
You showed me a world
That had no disguise.

From a distance
I long for you
Just to hear your voice
Just to be near you
From a distance
I sit alone and wonder why
You came into my life
Just for me to havet to say good-bye.

I knew all along
That I'd never be able to stay
Never imagining
You'd touch me this way
I took a chance of circumstance
Took a chance and lost
Now my very heart
Seems to be the final cost.

Unsuspecting . . .
Just a moment in time
Without saying a word
Your glance caught mine
I keep trying to tell myself
I was only playing the game
But inside I know
That I will never be the same.

I left you in your world
To return to mine
I try to convince myself
That I will be just fine
I want to go back
To that place I'd never been
I just don't know
How to begin.

From a distance
I long for you
Just to hear your voice
Just to be near you.
