Too Close To Her (and Too Far From You)

I was just lonesome I was just blue and I was too close to her and too far from you



We shared a glass of wine and a dance or two



And I held her close to me wishing she was you



That's how things happen that's how things begin



A heart gets too lonesome and looks for a friend



I didn't mean to cheat or be untrue



But I was too close to her and too far from you







Day after day went by with no letter from you



And you didn't telephone like you said that you would do



And darling I felt so hurt when you let me down



So lonely and tired of just hangin' around



And that's how things happen...



(Too far from you)
