Steve Forbert - Oh So Close (And Yet So Far Away) lyrics

I stood listening to those chapel bells Trying to tell myself it's just as well Watched you walking down the aisle that day Oh so close and yet so far away It feels so good to sit and talk with you All the while, sweetheart, it's torture too Such sweet, simple words I'd love to say Oh so close and yet so far away Oh so close to you my darling Oh so close I wanna cry For my love as I sit looking in your eyes Oh so close to you my darling It's so hard for me to stay Oh so close to you and yet so far away You confide in me and me in you That's what good old friends are 'sposed to do I got one secret that I can't betray Oh so close and yet so far away Oh so close to you my darling Oh so close I wanna cry For my love as I sit looking in your eyes Oh so close to you my darling It's so hard for me to stay Oh so close to you and yet so far away Being near you, babe, it's work for me Trying to hide this precious misery It's a price I guess I'll always pay Oh so close and yet so far away Oh so close to you my darling Oh so close I wanna cry For my love as I sit looking in your eyes Oh so close to you my darling It's so hard for me to stay Oh so close to you and yet so far away Hey, now Oh so close to you my darling Oh so close I wanna cry For my love as I sit looking in your eyes Oh so close to you my darling It's so hard for me to stay Oh so close to you and yet so far away
