Light Years

There’s a lot of empty space separating me from you
It feels like eternity
A lonely place, but I have to make it through
Your love is my destiny
You’re just across the room
But on a scale of tears
Well it seems like light years
Since I first looked into your eyes
Light years
And saw them fill with sweet surprise
Light years
Since we said our last goodbye
It was a long hard fall when I fell in love with you
It felt like immortality
I came as close to it as anyone could do
But it almost cost my sanity
It’s not that long ago
In our short careers
But it seems like light years
At least as far as I can see
Light years
Since I held you close to me
Light years
My love goes on endlessly
And it’s just another party and it’s just another noise
And suddenly our eyes meet and you almost lose you poise
And in that fraction of a second
I know you love me still because the
Light years
And I don’t know where or when
Light years
'Til you’re in my arms again
Light years
I’ll be waiting for you until then
Light years
Since I looked into your eyes
Light years
And saw them fill with sweet surprise
Light years
Since we said our last goodbye
