Just another bar, loud guitars
Smoke, candles burning low
And the same old 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 on to 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
