So I long for you and you long for me 

but distance makes it so hard 

there's nothing to do but wait for the day 

we're no longer apart. 


Oh time passes fast when I come back home 

and miles they get back inbetween us 

it never can last 'cos I've got to go 

I only feel. 


That I'm so

helpless helpless 

In your arms 

'cos time goes flying - flying by 

and it's endless endless 

far apart 

I ask why - if you're still mine. 


Helpless helpless far away 

there's just the telephone 

just to make less helpless 

what I say 

when i hear the sound - you're calling me now. 


So I look at you and you look at me 

in pictures hung on the wall 

and what can I do but wait for the day 

I hear your voice when you call. 


So always remember - never forget 

the love that is living inside us 

if my voice is sad I only regret 

that you are far - and I'm so
