From a Distance

(Randy Travis - Alan Jackson)



Just another bar with loud guitars

Smoke and candles burning low

And the same ol' boys, their backs to the bar

Staring across a crowded floor

Then I hear a familiar sound

Your voice laughing out loud.



From a distance I can see you

Dancing slowly with somebody new

But I can't hold you like I want to

But I can love you from a distance.



So, I take a chair in a corner somewhere

You can't see me but I can look at you

And I remember those times when I looked in your eyes

The way that he now looks at you

Deep down I know it's over

But it hurts me when he's so much closer.



From a distance I can see you

Dancing slowly with somebody new

But I can't hold you like I want to

But I can love you from a distance.



And if I can't hold you near me

I'll just hold onto your memory.



From a distance I can see you

Dancing slowly with somebody new

But I can't hold you like I want to

But I can love you from a distance.



I'll always love you from a distance...
