Lyrics - From a Distance by Alan Jackson

(alan jackson/randy travis)
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
