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
