The space between us spans such endless miles
And though I seek to soldier on each day
Without you, all the days ahead are trials

’Twas long ago I first fell for your wiles
And almost just as long you’ve been away
The space between us spans such endless miles

I wither without the sunlight of your smiles
For just one night with you I’d gladly pay
Without you, all the days ahead are trials

The letters that you send I keep in piles
I read them over each and every day
The space between us spans such endless miles

If we could flee as one to distant isles
Could I convince you, there, to always stay?
Without you, all the days ahead are trials

I lay my words with care, in many styles
The words I’ve not the courage to truly say
The space between us spans such endless miles
Without you, all the days ahead are trials
