From A Distance

Just another bar, loud guitars

Smoke, candles burning low

And the same old boys, their backs to the bar

Staring across a crowded floor

Then I hear a familiar sound

Your voice laughing out loud

From a distance

I can see you

Dancing slowly with somebody new

But I can't hold you like

I want toBut

I can love you from a distance

So I take a chair in a corner somewhere

You can't see me but

I can look at you

And I remember those times when

I looked in your eyes

The way that he now looks at you

Deep down

I know it's over

But it hurts me when he's so much closer

From a distance

I can see you

Dancing slowly with somebody new

But I can't hold you like

I want toBut

I can love you from a distance

And if I can't hold you near me

I'll just hold on to your memory

From a distance

I can see you

Dancing slowly with somebody new

But I can't hold you like

I want toBut

I can love you from a distance

I'll always love you from a distance
