Manhattan Transfer - A World Apart lyrics

rate me

Lost in a feelin'

So very deep inside of me

Something's not healing ever since

You left this place

Ohbut I loved you and although

I didn't know you

Just the idea of you brought

Rapture to my face

I feel I almost got to know you

At least you made it to my heart

Even though we'll always

Be a world apart

Now I'm getting on without you

But I need to cry sometimes

‘cause I know we'll always

Be a world apart

Voices of children -

In the streets I hear them laughing

It all fades to one voice

I hear crying in the night

I think about you wondering

If you're out there listening

As if the words I sing

Will somehow bring you light

Well I almost got to know you

At least you made it to my heart

But I know we'll always

Be a world apart

Now I'm getting on without you

But there's a shadow in my heart

'cause I know we'll always

Be a world apart

Seems I almost got to know you

At least you made it to my heart

But I know we'll always

Be a world apart

Through the constancy of memory

You will live inside my heart

Then we'll never have to

Be a world apart

Over and over I never knew

How much till you were gone

Over and over and over

You will be mine eternally
