Corey Smith - From A Distance Lyrics
Amanda was a small town blonde haired beauty She had Heaven in her eyes and could light up a room When she walked into view, she was the prettiest girl in my school And I knew she'd never give me the time of day No girls like her ever looked twice my way She was out of my league Oh, but that was alright with me Cause I loved her from a distance Like an angel watching from afar I never had the nerve to mention The fire burning in my heart I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance So I did the best I could And I loved her from a distance The Homecoming dance of our senior year I finally got my courage up enough to overcome my fears I would have asked her to dance But her boyfriend never gave me a chance Every step of every song they swung the night away And I wish I could have wrapped my arms around her waist And told her how I cared Instead I only stood there and stared But I kept loving her from a distance Like an angel watching from afar I never had the nerve to mention The fire burning in my heart I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance So I did the best I could And I loved her from a distance The other night I saw her, first time in years My heart skipped a beat when she came walking near In those faded blue jeans She's still the prettiest girl I've seen And much to my surprise she said hello And that she loved listening to me singing on the radio I said that's a funny funny thing Cause your in every song I sing Yes I've been loving you from a distance Since you were only seventeen But I never had the nerve to mention The feelings flowing inside me I knew a boy like me never woulda stood a chance So I poured my heart into the music that I made And I kept loving you from a distance Oh and now we have a story book romance And I know one thing's for sure This love can go the distance
