One Step Away |
I sleep with a prayer |
In my heart for you |
And a song of praise |
Rests upon my lips |
Our love was built |
On a tower of trust |
Straight from the heart |
Not for riches or such |
Now we’re standing here |
With a veil between each other |
Lies, neglect, and my eyes |
Have told of your new lover |
If only you would talk with me |
Understanding is in sight |
It’s strange how you defend your wrongs |
With more fire than you do your rights, so |
(Oh tell me) How can we be so far apart |
Standing only one step away |
I won’t allow my love to bind you |
Only the hand of life |
Can restore your heart |
To hold you now |
Would only wreck your life |
Experience will show you |
Where love lies |
With an honest heart |
And understanding mind |
Your point of views |
I hold as if they were mine |
But here we stand |
Two strangers we seem |
We need an understanding |
But you don’t want that with me, so |
(Oh tell me) How can we be so far apart |
Standing only one step away |
(Oh tell me) How can we be so far apart |
Standing only one step away |
Now we’re standing here |
With a veil between each other |
Lies, neglect, and my eyes |
Have told of your new lover |
If only you would talk with me |
Understanding is in sight |
It’s strange how you defend your wrongs |
With more fire than you do your rights, so |
(Oh tell me) How can we be so far apart |
Standing only one step away |
