Claude François
So Near And Yet So Far
So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are
Love can be such a long lonely road
When you are leaving the one you love
So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are
I cry but you just laugh at my pain
I'll never see you again

The car that gave us happiness is driving me to loneliness
I had to leave you
When I go by familiar scenes that once were part of all my dreams
When I believed you
Why do I keep thinking of you? Wish to god I didn't love you

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are
Love can be such a long lonely road
When you are leaving the one you love
So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are
I cry but you just laugh at my pain
I'll never see you again

The radio goes on and on, why does it play your favourite song?
I've learned to hate it
As I pass by I catch the eye of lovers who don't know that love
Is overrated
Love is something that can hurt you, only memories don't desert you
So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are
Love can be such a long lonely road
When you are leaving the one you love
