FAR AWAY
CHET BAKER
When it was only yesterday
That you were oh so close to me
So close that every sigh
Was like the whisper of a lover's lullaby
The way the ocean loves the edges of the sky
As close as we could be
But now you're far away
So far away you're like a distant star away
And even though your hands could touch me if they tried
When love has died what more is there to say
I only know you are so far away
You're long ago, so far away
Far away, so far away
(But now you're far away
So far away you're like a distant star away
And even though your hands could touch me if they tried
When love has died what more is there to say)
I only know you're oh so far away
You're long ago and oh so far away
Oh so far away
