So close and yet so far

So close and yet so far

Did we pass each other by on a crowded isle

Just long enough to say hello and share a smile

So close so far



So close and yet so far

Like making a wish, on a shooting star

Did I hold the door for you somewhere downtown

Watch you walk through and disappear into the crowd

So close so far



Maybe another time, maybe another place

I might have been better at taking chances face to face

Maybe in a different movie, I might of had a leading part

The role I played might have been that of the star

So close so far



So close and yet so far

Like a whisper in the wind, like a shadow in the dark

The hardest step to take is always the first

The first step for me is in the words that go unheard

So close so far

So close yet so far

So close yet so far
