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 |
