Too Close To Her (And Too Far From You)

[Verse 1]
I was just lonesome I was just blue
And I was too close to her and too far from you
We shared a glass of wine and a dance or two
And I held her close to me wishing she was you

[Chorus]
That's how things happen that's how things begin
A heart gets too lonesome and looks for a friend
I didn't mean to cheat or be untrue
But I was too close to her and too far from you

[Verse 2]
Day after day went by with no letter from you
And you didn't telephone like you said you would do
And darling I felt so hurt that you let me down
So lonely and tired of just hanging around

[Chorus]
And that's how things happen that's how things begin
A heart gets too lonesome and looks for a friend
I didn't mean to cheat or be untrue
But I was too close to her (Close to her) and too far from you (Too far from you)
