Far Away

(Astrud Gilberto / Hal Shaper)

Far away
You seem so far away
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're 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
Far away, so far away
