Distance In Our Hearts Ashley Burdett
I can close my eyes
And for just a moment
Reflect on all the times
I have seen you go
Dancing through my head.
I can take a breath
And for just a moment
Remember all the times
That I have taken it
Solely for you.
I can emit a sigh
And for just a moment
Return to the days
When I swoon
Only for you.
I can drop a tear
And realize where we stand.
Far apart by distance
Further by the distance
In our hearts.
