Things seem so much better when
|
they're not part of your close surroundings.
|
Like words in a letter sent,
|
amplified by the distance.
|
Possibilities and sweeter dreams,
|
sights and sounds calling from far away,
|
calling from far away.
|
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
|
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me.
|
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
|
I didn't see the brave girl so near me.
|
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
|
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me,
|
singing softly to me.
|
I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved,
|
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing.
|
I wanted a story that couldn't be told,
|
only the fishing part of fishing.
|
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
|
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me.
|
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
|
I didn't see the brave girl so near me.
|
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
|
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me,
|
singing softly to me.
|
And now I find
|
it was you all the time.
|
I'm in love again,
|
it's too late now...
