So Far Away


Far away

So far away

You've been so far

For far too long

My baby


Nights are passin' and the days are wearin'

And all I can do is miss you

Miss your pleasures, your promises of forever

And then how you spend so much time telling me it's true


And I laugh 'cause you're so funny

Acting so cute around me with that playful little tone

And that funny accent

And that puppy face

You blow me away


Far away

So far away

You've been so far

For far too long

My baby


It's Friday night, I'm watchin' movies late

“Message in a Bottle”, where they lean for a kiss

And the tears begin to build so quickly in my eyes

Because all of the memories of you and I are so far behind


And I cry 'cause she's so happy

And you're somewhere out there without me

And I wish I was with you

I wish it were true

That you'd miss me as much too


Far away

So far away

You've been so far

For far too long

My baby


I don't know what to do

To keep me from missing you

Can't turn on the radio 'cause they only play our songs

Can't watch t.v.

Without something to remind me

How much I've been needing you all along

Can't go outside

'Cause I see them all holding hands tight

And I find myself wanting you with all my might

Can't stay at home

'Cause then I'm all alone

And all I can think of is you filling in those empty spaces


(Guitar)


Far away

So far away

You've been so far

For far too long

My baby

(x1)


You've been so far for far too long...


I Miss Ya



The fire's burning, the stars are alight

Isn't it such a beautiful night

But I know you're just looking at her

Aren't ya?


The ocean hums, the sand is soft

Isn't this such a sweet place to walk

But I know you're standing by her

Aren't ya?


Oh, how I miss ya

I miss ya

I really miss ya

Oh, I miss ya


The clouds make shapes in the sky

Isn't it funny how it seems they come to life

But I know you're just laughing with her

Aren't ya?


The candles are lit and the music plays

Isn't it so romantic how they sway

But I know you're holding her close and dancing

Aren't ya?


Oh, how I miss ya

I miss ya

I really miss ya

Oh, I miss ya


The sun shines and the world is bright

But somehow I am still not in your sight

I've stood in the way of your eyes

But you don't see me, do ya?


I've touched your shoulder, called your name

But you just react the same

As if I'm not there

You don't hear me at all, do ya?


I've grabbed your hand, pulled you from her

But you went right back and it hurt

To know you still don't know it was me

Do ya?


I've stood in front of you, tears on my face

And it stings that you see through me

My heart keeps on screaming but you don't hear

Do ya?


Oh, how I miss ya

I miss ya

I really miss ya

Oh, I miss ya


Don't you see me right beside you

Don't you hear me, I'm right by you

But to you now I am invisible

Oh, to you now I am invisible


Oh, how I miss ya

I miss ya

I really miss ya

Oh, I miss ya

Tear Me Apart


How long has it been?

All I know is that it's been too long

With you I could stand

But now I am not strong


I can't even get out of bed

Without using whatever's left of me

I used to know the world so beautiful

But now I can't see


Has insanity taken me again

Like the time before when she broke my heart

You have won me over with your sweet love

But now all you do is tear me apart


I pace the house every evening

My thoughts all of you as always

My body's tired, my head is drained

Living through these lonely days


I can't help to wish after all you've done

To have you back in my arms

Because the mornings and nights aren't the same

When you're so far


Has insanity taken me again

Like the time before when she broke my heart

You have won me over with your sweet love

But now all you do is tear me apart


And now I'm fallin', cryin', missin' you

Like never before

Hopin', wishin', pleadin'

I see you again

Just for a moment, if that's all it can last

Despite the pain you've inflicted on me

Won't you please come back

Back to me

Or am I just lost in insanity

Again


(Guitar)


And now I'm fallin', cryin', missin' you

Like never before

Hopin', wishin', pleadin'

I see you again


Has insanity taken me again

Like the time before when she broke my heart

You have won me over with your sweet love

But now all you do is tear me apart

(x2)


Now all you do is tear me apart

One Moment In Time


I can't walk New York City streets anymore

I can't go where poverty still reigns

Because I've never felt so torn before

When I see just one tear I feel too much pain


But it doesn't take a tear to get me hurting this bad

It doesn't take a frown to make me feel this way

It takes just the thought of the life they could've had

And how while the ignorant speak they cannot say


Open your eyes

See all that's become

Spread your arms wide

And embrace all who still run

Far from the shadow

Of misfortune close behind

Could you open your hearts for just

One moment in time


I can't visit the culture of India beyond this day

I can't visit much of Europe where it stands

Because such cruelty, pure darkness added to the bright rays

Is deserved by no beast or any man nor Mother Nature's lands


But it doesn't take bloodshed to get me hurt this bad

It doesn't take a scorched forest to make me feel this way

It takes just the thought of the life they could've had

And how while the ignorant speak that cannot say


Open your eyes

See all that's become

Spread your arms wide

And embrace all who still run

Far from the shadow

Of misfortune close behind

Could you open your hearts for just

One moment in time


The difference it would make

If we spared one breath

One smile, one word

Hope...

Home

Joy

Love

If we could give


And soon when all has fallen

When tears flood the streets

Will we wait till then to regret it all

Will we then realize the truth of reality

Until then I have no home

Until then I am alone

And I speak for all who share this pain with me


If only we could spare

One moment in time

Eternally


Stop in your tracks, baby

Don't you take another step

I know I've been messin' up lately

But we can make this better yet

Just give me one more chance

I know it's a lot to ask

But without you in my life

I'd never ever last

'Cause you're a big part of me

You are my eyes to see

You're the only one who can set me free

I want you stay with me


Eternally

I'll love you for all eternity

And if I hurt you internally

Please forgive me

Because I wanna be there for you

I want what we share to be true

I want it so when I hold you

When I kiss you

When I breathe you

I know I need you

I do

Eternally

Eternally

Eternally

Eternally


Turn around and look at this face

It's full of regret and apology

Can you see the tears hot in my eyes

I can't bear to have you away from me

Please give me one more moment

Please give me one more try

To show you how much you mean to me

And that without you I'd die

'Cause you are what makes me

You're a part of me indefinitely

You're the only one who can make me happy

I want you to stay with me


Eternally

I'll love you for all eternity

And if I hurt you internally

Please forgive me

Because I wanna be there for you

I want what we share to be true

I want it so when I hold you

When I kiss you

When I breathe you

I know I need you

I do

Eternally

Eternally

Eternally

Eternally


With my every heartbeat I think of you

Knowing that you are my dream come true

So indescribable what you do to me

Whatever I did to you hurt you, I'm so sorry

But baby please don't leave me

I need you more than air, please believe me

I can't live without you

I know, I tried

Two seconds after you left I thought I'd died

The pain is unbelievable

I need you by my side

I'll throw away all of the jewels

And hush my pride

Anything for you, let me know

But whatever you do please don't go

'Cause I want you to stay with me


Eternally

I'll love you for all eternity

And if I hurt you internally

Please forgive me

Because I wanna be there for you

I want what we share to be true

I want it so when I hold you

When I kiss you

When I breathe you

I know I need you

I do

Eternally

Eternally

Eternally

Eternally

(x2)


I know I need you

Eternally

Fallen Angel


All these faces in the crowd

All these people here

How many have the time to listen

To hear of my worries and my every fear

They've got their own places to go


Got their things to do

Tight on schedule

I'm a little girl walking around

Tapping peoples' shoulders

All I get is a shrug

And then I'm shoved to the ground


But just as it seems the light will go out

Just as it seems all hope is gone

Just as the tears are about to fall

I feel a hand grasp mine


And I look up in the eyes of a fallen angel

I look up at a smile that brightens the world

I look up at a face that glows like the full moon in the dark midnight

And he's holding my hand helping me to stand

He's pulling me into his protective arms

And he wipes my tears and kisses me in the golden light

But when I open my eyes he's gone

My fallen angel has left for Heaven


So many pains and pressures

From this strange life

Sometimes you can't help to feel alone

Turning each corner to another surprise

Some make you fly, some make you fall


You find yourself wishing

There was an easier way out

But it's not true when you hear them say

Making it on your own is what this is all about

I was fooled, fell in a current and drifted away


But just as it seems the light will go out

Just as it seems all hope is gone

Just as the tears are about to fall

I feel a hand grasp mine


And I look up in the eyes of a fallen angel

I look up at a smile that brightens the world

I look up at a face that glows like the full moon in the dark midnight

And he's holding my hand helping me to stand

He's pulling me into his protective arms

And he wipes my tears and kisses me in the golden light

But when I open my eyes he's gone

My fallen angel has left for Heaven


No matter where I go

(Wherever I stray)

I know he'll be there

(To always guide me)

No matter how hard I fall

(I know he'll always be near)

To help me pick up the pieces

(And dry my tears)

My angel don't go...

I love you so


(Guitar and flute)


Just as it seems the light will go out

(The lights go out)

Just as it seems all hope is gone

(All hope is gone)

Just as the tears are about to fall

(The tears are about to fall)

I feel a hand grasp mine

(I feel his hand grasp mine)


And I look up in the eyes of a fallen angel

(My fallen angel)

I look up at a smile that brightens the world

(His smile brightens the world)

I look up at a face that glows like the full moon in the dark midnight

(His face glows like the moon)

And he's holding my hand helping me to stand

(He's holding on to me)

He's pulling me into his protective arms

(I'm in his arms)

And he wipes my tears and kisses me in the golden light

(He wipes away my tears and kisses me)


I look up in the eyes of a fallen angel

(A fallen angel)

I look up at a smile that brightens the world

(Brightens the world)

I look up at a face that glows like the full moon in the dark midnight

(The dark midnight)

And he's holding my hand helping me to stand

(Helping me to stand)

He's pulling me into his protective arms

(His protective arms)

And he wipes my tears and kisses me in the golden light

(In the golden light)

But when I open my eyes he's gone

My angel don't go...

I love you so
