Every time that we say goodbye

It breaks my heart

Cos I know that we have to be

So far apart

I would travel all the way to you

If only just to see you smile

Even if the only way I could

Was to walk 400 miles

 

PRE-CHORUS:

Wish that we could be closer

Close enough to see

I want to know I can hold you

I want you next to me

 

CHORUS:

I’ve got nothing but emptiness inside when you’re a long, long way from me

I only wish I could change the fact that you are such a long, long way from me

 

I’m just living for the next time

We meet again

My emotions just eat me up

Until then

Then when we are together at last

It’s like you’ve never been away

And we make love and hold each other close

I want you every single day

 

(PRE-CHORUS + CHORUS)

 

You’re such a long, long way

Such a long, long way

 

(REPEAT VERSE 1, LINES 1-4 + VERSE 2 LINES 5-8)

 

Wish that we could be closer

Close enough to see

I want to know I can hold you

I want you here with me

 

(CHORUS)

 

You’re such a long, long way

Ooh, such a long, long way

 

(CHORUS TO FADE)
