Distance Between Us Lm
All alone again
thinking about you
Memories flood my mind
tell me this ain't true
My world is shattered
as you sit in that cell
Such a lonely place
we know of all to well
Tell me it's a dream
I'll wake to find you here
Gently reaching up
to wipe away my tear
The warmth of your breath
spreads across my skin
Your scent surrounds me
I take a moment to breathe you in
Open my eyes now
or do I dare
Into this darkness
alone I stare
In a world full of wealth
I'd give every dime
Grant me one wish to
speed up the hands of time
No comfort from your touch
I feel the cold air
No strength from you presence
I'm weak without you near
The distance between us
counted by the mile
I'd travel to the moon
just to see your smile
Til the years become days
and hours to minutes that we're apart
Until I can hold you forever in my arms
I'll hold you forever in my heart
