How close how far

how close did we get
how far did we turn away
it seems like only yesterday
I packed your case

something stupid
an' yes it was a mistake
all those years I was hopin'
to meet and say

the things you did need
never would you have
walked away now we're here
caught in the midlle of

a pourin' rain
lookin' for shelter
older, wiser whose
to say

I only know
it would be foolish
to let it slip away again
how close did we get
how far did we turn away

time's closin' in
before it catches us
I'd like to try again
so if you don't mind

I'm actually proposin'
my answer as always
is in your eyes
