Across the Distance

A love story in song... Verse 1 Before I met you, I never knew A distant love could feel this true Miles apart, yet every day You're the first thought that finds its way Every little thing I see Only feels complete when shared with you and me A photo, a joke, a cloudy sky Somehow they matter when you're by my side I never planned for my heart to fall But little by little, you became it all --- Pre-Chorus I've already pictured the day I'll fly Leave the distance far behind No more clocks pulling us apart Just your hand resting in mine --- Chorus I wanna wake up next to you In the ordinary life we always dreamed we'd do Morning coffee, quiet nights Laughing underneath the kitchen light Your gentle soul, your peaceful grace Feels like the home I've searched for all these days And if forever starts somewhere I hope it starts with us right here --- Verse 2 Your voice is still my favorite sound The one that turns my whole day around And your smile is my favorite view No matter how many times it's new The quiet moments, the silly jokes The secret language only we know When we first met, I couldn't see Just how much you'd come to mean to me Now I smile more than before Laugh a little louder than I ever could before --- Pre-Chorus If I could change one thing somehow I'd find you sooner than I found you now Because every day with you feels right Like stars appearing in the night --- Chorus I wanna be the reason why That beautiful smile keeps shining in your eyes The one who helps your worries fade And fills your heart on harder days Our story isn't perfect, no But it's my favorite one I've ever known And if love writes its own design I'm so thankful that your life met mine --- Post-Chorus Different skies, the same moonlight Different mornings, the same goodnight Somehow every mile disappears Whenever you're here --- Verse 3 Maybe one day the newness fades Maybe time will show mistakes we've made We'll find flaws we never saw before And learn what real love is made for But even then, my choice won't change A thousand times, I'll say your name You can ask me over and over again And I'll choose you every time then Since I was young, words came slow Feelings were hard for me to show But from the first day I saw your face I wanted to give you the world someday --- Verse 4 My favorite time is sunset light When day begins for you and night for mine Because I know another day will start Of random talks that fill my heart Anything, everything, nothing at all Somehow we never run out of thoughts And somewhere between our friendly lines You taught this stubborn heart to blush sometimes You've stolen pieces of my soul And somehow made me feel more whole --- Bridge No matter what tomorrow brings As long as you're beside me, that's everything You've become the safest place I know The one I'll always run to when I need home If someone hurts you, I'll stand first in line And I'll protect your heart like you protect mine No misunderstandings left unsaid We'll talk until the shadows end That's the beauty of what we've found A love that keeps on growing now --- Final Chorus I hope the beginning is you The middle chapters are you too And when our story reaches its end I still see you as my best friend We'll enjoy the spark, survive the years Hold each other through the doubts and fears And every time life asks me who I choose you I choose you Again and again, through everything we do No more distance, no more waiting No more counting time that's separating Just your heart forever close to mine --- You've stolen my heart... And I'll protect it every day... Promise you'll stay... Always... I'll slowly, deeply fall in love with you... Again and again... For the rest of my life...
