At Arm's Length
I KEEP YOU CLOSE; YET FAR AWAY,
IT'S EASIER THIS WAY.
I LOVE YOU MORE EACH AND
EVERYDAY.
SO MUCH SO WORD'S CAN NOT
SAY.
ONE HUG HELD SO TIGHT...
I KNOW DEEP DOWN THAT
THIS IS RIGHT.
I TRUST IN YOU TO MAKE
MY DAY BRIGHT.
FAITHFUL AS THE BURNING
CANDLELIGHT.
YOU MAY NOT NOTICE, BUT
I DO THIS FOR US BOTH.
I KEEP YOU CLOSE, SO FAR
AWAY...
BECAUSE FOR YOU TO BE
SAFE,
YOU MUST STAY AT ARM'S LENGTH.
