I know you're happy when you smile
I know it's taken me awhile
I know I'm going out of style
10,000 miles from you
But everything is still O.K.
'Cause I'm closer everyday
Which is more than I would have to say
If I was next to you
Think of all the times and places
Step across the open spaces, that lead back to you

And you know that I won't let you go
Sometimes so near and now so far
Retrace the paces that have brought me here
Close my eyes and move along

Thinking, looking, hoping that I'll find a way
You know, that I, can't stop counting all the days
That you're not here to say
You know I miss you more
More than yesterday

I know sometimes that in my past
Lost direction had to ask
I know I wouldn't ever last
Without you
But everything is still O.K.
'Cause I'm closer everyday
Which is more than I would have to say
If I was next to you

What can I do?

Think of all the times and places
Step across the open spaces, that lead back to you

And you know that I won't let you go
Sometimes so near and now so far
Retrace the paces that have brought me here
Close my eyes and move along
