(Salvatore Cutugno/Vito Pallaviccini)



So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are 

love can be such a long lonely road 

when you are leaving the one you love .

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are 

I cry but you just laugh at my pain 

I'll never see you again .



The car that gave us happiness is driving me to loneliness 

I had to leave you ,

when I go by familiar scenes that once were part of all my dreams 

when I believed you ,

why do I keep thinking of you ? wish to god I didn't love you .



So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are 

love can be such a long lonely road 

when you are leaving the one you love .

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are 

I cry but you just laugh at my pain 

I'll never see you again .



The radio goes on and on, why does it play your favourite song ?

I've learned to hate it,

as I pass by I catch the eye of lovers who don't know that love

is overrated ,

love is something that can hurt you, only memories don't desert you.



So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are 

love can be such a long lonely road 

when you are leaving the one you love.
