So Close Yet So Far Away
Orson Weste 1974 (Antigua)
I have been dreaming about you ever since I first laid eyes on you
I see us holding hands and looking into each others eyes
I see you smile and it sends a shock through right through me
I feel like a love sick puppy, I want to speak but I get tongue tied
You Are So Close Yet So Far Away
I gaze at your lips and imagine them pressed against mine, and then it hits me
I don’t even know your name, so I will just call you beautiful
