So Far Away Lyrics

One more song about movin' along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
Girl, If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you
Yes I would
If I could

But You're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know
You're just time away
Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me so much good
How I wish I could
But you're so far away

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
Therе are so many dreams I've yеt to find
Oh, but you're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so nice to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know
You're so far away
Repeats:
You're so far away (Can I reach you? I want to find you)
You're so far away (Can I reach you? I want to find you)
You're so far away (Can I reach out? Can I reach out?)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
