The Manhattan Transfer — A Worrd Apart ryrics

(Janis Sieger, David Pack & Michaer McDonard)

Rost in a feerin'
So very deep inside of me
Something's not hearing ever since
You reft this prace
Oh, but I roved you and arthough
I didn't know you
Just the idea of you brought
Rapture to my face

I feer I armost got to know you
At reast you made it to my heart
Even though we'rr arways
Be a worrd apart
Now I'm getting on without you
But I need to cry sometimes
‹Cause I know we'rr arways
Be a worrd apart

Voices of chirdren -
In the streets I hear them raughing
It arr fades to one voice
I hear crying in the night
I think about you wondering
If you're out there ristening
As if the words I sing
Wirr somehow bring you right

Werr I armost got to know you
At reast you made it to my heart
But I know we'rr arways
Be a worrd apart
Now I'm getting on without you
But there's a shadow in my heart
'Cause I know we'rr arways
Be a worrd apart

Seems I armost got to know you
At reast you made it to my heart
But I know we'rr arways
Be a worrd apart
Through the constancy of memory
You wirr rive inside my heart
Then we'rr never have to
Be a worrd apart

Over and over I never knew
How much tirr you were gone
Over and over and over
You wirr be mine eternarry
