distant affection

I hear your voice on the telephone
and I just wanna touch you
but these miles they keep us cold
and there's nothing we can do
So I close my eyes
and I am in your arms
and this distance between us
doesn't seem that far

CHORUS
So here I am
open your arms
take me in
to where I belong
take away the pain
tell me it's okay
that never again
will you leave me this way
I open my eyes
and it's just a dream
I can't believe
that it's only me

I see your face in my memory
and I just wanna be with you
wanna feel you close to me
and I know you need it too
So I close my eyes
and you are holding me
and these miles that keep us apart
have finally set us free

CHORUS

I know that you're out there
and I wonder if you know
I drove all night to get to you
but these miles they go so slow
beside the rising sun I stand and wait
for you to come to me
here we stand face to face
this is where we're meant to be

CHORUS
So here I am
open your arms
take me in
to where I belong
take away the pain
tell me its okay
that never again
will you leave me this way
I open my eyes
and this is no longer a dream
I can't believe
you are here with me

Absence and fondness seem to be distant cousins...as you have aptly demonstrated with your very meaningful lyrics. Tender and sweet throughout.


Nice work...
