Lyrics for From A Distance
Just another bar With loud guitars Smoke and 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's laughing out loud From a distance I can see you Dancing slowly with somebody new But I can't hold you like I want to But 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 to But I can love you from a distance And if I can't hold you near me I'll just hold onto your memory From a distance I can see you Dancing slowly with somebody new But I can't hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance I'll always love you from a distance
