For some of us this life is too short
When years must be lived in minutes
And we dream of a second chance
To love beyond our limits
So if we don't make it this time around
Here's what you should do
Call me up on the laser phone
Springtime in the year 2052
There's a point in the distance
Where I know you'll be waiting
At some point in the distance
There's a hope of better days
At some point in the distance
There's a line of least resistance
At some point in the distance
We'll feel that sweet insistence
They say that distance it lends romance
To many a situation
But romance is in the distance
So take me to the station
Some of us we want to travel
We feel that urge to roam
And some of us are on the road
So we can get back home
To a point in the distance
There's a hope of better days
To a point in the distance
I'll meet you past the haze
At some point in the distance
Maybe we'll arrive
At some point in the distance
One day we'll make that drive
And if you're working to change the world
But time's running out for you
Don't give up 'cos next time around
There'll be work for you to do
Some people tell me they're ahead of their time
And that's OK by me
'Cos you and I we'll be around
So we'll just wait and see
There's a point in the distance
Where maybe we'll arrive
At some point in the distance
One day we'll make that drive
So if you can't be with ones you need
Or they can't be with you
Don't forget there'll be other times
Somewhere out there in the blue
'Cos I'll know we'll be together
Somewhere, somehow with you
Springtime I'm looking forward to
In the year 2052
At some point in the distance
I know you'll be waiting
At some point in the distance
You can be of some assistance
At some point in the distance
There'll be a bright star in the sky
Maybe on some distant planet
There'll be a place for you and I
At some point in the distance
At some point in the distance
At some point in the distance
There's a place for you and I...
