Darling, if there was a way That I could be with you tonight I would do everything that I could To make it all work out right I would walk across the earth Or sail the seven seas I would do anything that you ask Just to have you here with me You’re always on my mind And in my heart is where you live There’s so much that I need to show you So much more that I need to give I feel so helpless without you Like a bird whose lost his wings I feel an unending desire To go out and live my dreams But, I could never take another step Knowing how far away you are Every time I reach out to touch you It’s like trying to touch a star There are so many things I need to tell you If only you were around Darling, without you I am lost My whole world is turned upside down With every breath I take With every beat of my lonely heart I will continue to honor and love you Even though we are miles apart

Miles Apart
Darling, if there was a way That I could be with you tonight I would do everything that I could To make it all work out right I would walk across the earth Or sail the seven seas I would do anything that you ask Just to have you here with me You’re always on my mind And in my heart is where you live There’s so much that I need to show you So much more that I need to give I feel so helpless without you Like a bird whose lost his wings I feel an unending desire To go out and live my dreams But, I could never take another step Knowing how far away you are Every time I reach out to touch you It’s like trying to touch a star There are so many things I need to tell you If only you were around Darling, without you I am lost My whole world is turned upside down With every breath I take With every beat of my lonely heart I will continue to honor and love you Even though we are miles apart
