So Near and Yet So Far Lyrics

I so often dream
We might make a team
But so wild a scheme
I must banish
For each time I start
To open my heart
You vanishWe might find some isle
Where lotuses smile
And our time beguile
Going native
But how can we go
Unless you are co-
OperativeMy dear, I've a feeling you are
So near and yet so far
You appear like a radiant star
First so near, then again so farI just start getting you keen
On clinches galore with me
When fate steps in on the scene

And mops up the floor with me
No wonder I'm a bit under par
For you're so near and yet so far

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Fred Astaire (1899-1987) was an American dancer and singer famous for his numerous appearances in the 1920s and 1930s in Vaudeville, on Broadway and on the London stage with sister Adele Astaire; in musical films between the 1930s and 1960s; and on American TV in the 1950s and beyond. Although he teamed with many dancers, including Gene Kelly, his best known screen pairing was with Ginger Rogers, with whom he appeared in 10 films. He continued to act in non-dancing roles in films and TV in the 1960s through 1980s.
