So Near and Yet So Far
My dear, I've a feeling you are
So near and yet so far
You appear like a radiant star
First so near, then again so far
I just start getting you keen
On flinches galore with me
When fate steps in on the scene
And mops up the floor with me
No wonder I'm a bit under par
For you're so near and yet so far
I so often dream
We might make a team
But so wild a scheme
I must banish
For each time I start
To open my heart
You vanish
We might find some isle
Where lotuses smile
And our time beguile
Going native
But how can we go
Unless you are co-
Operative
My dear, I've a feeling you are
So near and yet so far
You appear like a radiant star
First so near, then again so far
I just start getting you keen
On flinches galore with me
When fate steps in on the scene
And mops up the floor with me
No wonder I'm a bit under par
For you're so near and yet so far
My condition is only so-so
'Cause whenever I feel you're close, oh
You turn out to be, oh, so
Far
