Lyrics
?Miles Away From Love?
I was never good enough to please her
Or be the man she needed me to be
Tried my best to be who she wanted
The years went by; lost my will to try
We hurt each other, went our own ways
All the empty dreams, too many yesterdays
Even though I loved her at the start
I never really could touch her heart
Just close enough, but miles away from love.
Chorus
There?s got to be more to life
Than just living it day by day
To lose myself in her eyes,
Feel her whole body sigh
Love full of passion, souls embraced
A life that?s more than just a dream
In every hug and kiss before I go
I?ll know her loves worth living for.
In this new life I still often wonder
Have I lost myself am I really stronger
Love should be easy but it?s hard to find
I know in my heart, we?re better apart
It still doesn?t ease the pain or the memories
I?m finding a way to do more than get by
It?s hard not remembering the past
And why our marriage didn?t last
Just close enough, but miles away from love
Chorus
There?s got to be more to life
Than just living it day by day
To lose myself in her eyes,
Feel her whole body sigh
Love full of passion, souls embraced
A life that?s more than just a dream
In every hug and kiss before I go
I?ll know her loves worth living for.
I?ve found someone new who loves me
Says I?m the one she?s wanted for so long
Trying my best to be what she needs
As the years go by I know I?ll always try
To love her wholly, today and tomorrow
She?ll know that there is nothing left to say
With every single beat of my heart
We will never be very far apart
Not just close enough, but miles forever in love
Chorus
There?s got to be more to life
Than just living it day by day
To lose myself in her eyes,
Feel her whole body sigh
Love full of passion, souls embraced
A life that?s more than just a dream
In every hug and kiss before I go
I?ll know her loves worth living for.
