Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Somehow, some day, I’ll find some way
To make you say you’ll be mine
Tho’ you cheer me when you’re near me
Somehow I worry and pine
Chorus
You’re so near and yet so far
Now what can I do?
You have charms, and both my arms
Are aching for you
What’s the use of dreaming dreams?
With the dawn you are gone
So it seems
You’re so near and yet so far
Now what can I say?
Tho’ you’re real sometimes I feel
You’ll vanish some day
When I think you’re in my heart
We’re still miles apart
You’re so near, and yet so far away
- Some where, some time, I’ll find sunshine
To drive the clouds from the sky
I’d be happy, Oh, so happy
If you explain to me why
