| 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 |
