Lyrics: Oliver James. The Distance.

Couplet:

The sky has lost its colour..
The sun has turned to grey..
At least that's how it feels to me
When ever you're away..
I crawl up in the corner
To watch the minutes pass..
Each one brings me closer to
The time you're coming back!

Refrain:

I can't take the distance..
I can't take the miles..
I can't take the time until
I next see you smile!
I can't take the distance..
And I'm not ashamed
That with every breath I take I'm calling your name..
I can't take the distance!

Couplet:

I still believe my feelings
But sometimes I fell too much..
I make believe you're close to me
But it ain't close enough
Not nearly close enough!

refrain:

I can't take the distance..
I can't take the miles..
I can't take the time until
I next see you smile!
I can't take the distance..
And I'm not ashamed
That with every breath I take I'm calling your name..

(...)
To be by your side I'd do anything!
I can't take the distance!
I will go the distance..
I will go the miles..
That's how much you mean to me!
I can't take the distance
I can't take this miles
I can't take the time until
I next see you smile!
I can't take the distance..
And I'm not ashamed
That with every breath I take I'm calling your name..
I can't take the dictance
Oliver James
