So close and yet so far So close and yet so far Did we pa** each other by on a crowded isle Just long enough to say hello and share a smile So close so far So close and yet so far Like making a wish, on a shooting star Did I hold the door for you somewhere downtown Watch you walk through and disappear into the crowd So close so far Maybe another time, maybe another place I might have been better at taking chances face to face
Maybe in a different movie, I might of had a leading part The role I played might have been that of the star So close so far So close and yet so far Like a whisper in the wind, like a shadow in the dark The hardest step to take is always the first The first step for me is in the words that go unheard So close so far So close yet so far So close yet so far
