Lyrics: 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...
