Lyric From A Distance

Amanda was a small town blonde haired beautiful
She had heaven eyes and could light up the moon
When she walked into view
She was the prettiest girl at my school

And I knew she d never give me the time of day
No girls like her never looked twice my way
She was out of my league
Oh, but that was alright with me

I loved her from a distance
Like an angel watchin from afar
I never had the nerve to mention
The fire burning in my heart
I knew a boy like me never would have stood a chance
So I did the best I could and I loved her from a distance

The homecoming dance of our senior year
I finally got my courage up enough to overcome my fears.
I would have asked her to dance
But her boyfriend never game me a chance
Every step of every song they swung the night away
I wish I could have wrapped my arms around her waist
And told her how I cared
Instead I only stood there and stared

I kept loving her from a distance
Like an angel watching from afar
I never had the nerve to mention
The fire burning in my heart
I knew a boy like me never would have stood a chance
So I did the best I could and I loved her from a distance

The other night I saw her for the first time in years
My heart skipped a beat when she came walking near
In those faded blue jeans, she s still the prettiest girl I ve seen
And much to my surprise she said hello
and that she loved listening to me singing on the radio
I said “that s a funny, funny thing cause your in every song that I sing”

Yes I ve been loving you from a distance
Since you were only 17
I8 never had the nerve to mention
The feelings flowing inside me
I knew a boy like me never would have stood a chance
So I poured my heart into the music that I made
And I kept loving you from a distance
Oh now we have a story book romance
And I know one thing s for sure
This love can go the distance
