Lyrics
The Distance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
For you are the sight of my eyes.
For you breathe between every line. (Is this love?)
The love it takes to give your heart away.
What defines my heart is what's best for you.
Where tired eyes are willing to prove.
That I'll be here forever.
At your bedside.
Never leave my sight.
If there's distance, there's persistence too…
When our love is opening their eyes for the first time.
They'll have your eyes like you've had mine. Whoa-oh.
If my words can't define the lights that compete with the voice of my eyes when you're gone.
Then I'm far away!!!
At your bedside.
Never leave my sight.
If there's distance, there's persistence too…
I will stay until the sun, until the sun arrives.
Even then I'll be by your side.
