Alan Jackson — From A Distance lyrics

Lyrics

Just another bar
With loud guitars
Smoke and candles burning low
And the same ol' boys
Their backs to the bar
Staring across a crowded floor
Then I hear a familiar sound
Your voice laughing out loud
From a distance I can see you
Dancing slowly with somebody new
But I can’t hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance
So I take a chair
In a corner somewhere
You can’t see me But I can look at you
And I remember those times
When I looked in your eyes
The way that he now looks at you
Deep down I know it’s over
But it hurts me when he’s so much closer
From a distance I can see you
Dancing slowly with somebody new
But I can’t hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance
And if I can’t hold you near me
I’ll just hold onto your memory
From a distance I can see you
Dancing slowly with somebody new
But I can’t hold you like I want to But I can love you from a distance
I’ll always love you from a distance
