Hank Locklin - Too Close To Her (and Too Far From You) lyrics

rate me

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

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

Day after day went by with no letter from you

And you didn't telephone like you said that you would do

And darling I felt so hurt when you let me down

So lonely and tired of just hangin' around

And that's how things happen...

(Too far from you)
