Just another bar, loud guitars
Smoke, candles burning low
And the same old boys, their backs to the bar
Staring across a crowded floorThen I hear a familiar sound
Your voice laughing out loudFrom 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 distanceSo 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 youDeep down I know it's over
But it hurts me when he's so much closerFrom 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 distanceAnd if I can't hold you near me
I'll just hold on to your memoryFrom 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
