We survive the storms of life in all kinds of weather And we're as close as two sweethearts could be But we're a husband and a wife who can't be together When there's a thousand miles distance between you and me Cos I need you here more than I need these tears The more you're gone the more I miss you every day Until I'm holdin' you tight There won't be nothing right When we're so close yet we're so far away When I'm so tired of being alone And I call you on the phone For just a moment it's like you're right here with me And the miles that we're apart they start breakin' my heart How far away and how much closer can two sweethearts be Cos I need you here more than I need these tears The more you're gone the more I miss you every day Until I'm holdin' you tight There won't be nothing right When we're so close yet ... we're so far away
