So Near And Far Between

Shoo Suede Bluze

Vocal: Janet Robertson

I never fell in love
I never gave my heart away
Content to walk alone
And take what came along
Knowing love would never come my way
Nights without dreams
Wand'ring like a wave
That never finds the shore
I never fell in love before

I never lost my place
Or lost myself in someone's eyes
I spoke to empty space
Across a crowded room
But without a voice to harmonize
Hoping just one
Someone would explain
The lyrics on the score
I never fell in love before

I never showed a tear
And never had one kissed away
Romance was just a word
But now I hear myself
Saying words I thought I'd never say
In your caress
Paradise is real
And not a metaphor
I never fell in love before...
