So close and yet so far
So close and yet so far
Did we pass each other by on a crowded isle
Just long enough to say hello and share a smile
So close so far
So close and yet so far
Like making a wish, on a shooting star
Did I hold the door for you somewhere downtown
Watch you walk through and disappear into the crowd
So close so far
Maybe another time, maybe another place
I might have been better at taking chances face to face
Maybe in a different movie, I might of had a leading part
The role I played might have been that of the star
So close so far
So close and yet so far
Like a whisper in the wind, like a shadow in the dark
The hardest step to take is always the first
The first step for me is in the words that go unheard
So close so far
So close yet so far
So close yet so far
