like a mile across the room,
she didn't know I was there tonight
I saw her when she came in,
pretend there was something in
I still got her picture in my pocket,
just once would she call out my name.
But I put my eyes from her side,
guess the Lord said do it
But your eyes don't make you cry,
it's what's going on inside.
And when it feels like somebody died,
and you didn't get to say goodbye,
Maybe if I sat down and wrote a poem,
it would take away all the pain.
Or to wash my hands in holy water,
is there such a thing as holy rain?
Cause my hands aren't yet wet enough,
and my tears just smear the page
I can still remember your touch,
and in my dreams I see your face
But my eyes don't make me cry,
it's what's going on inside
When it feels like somebody died,
and I didn't get to say goodbye
I goodbye, I say goodbye,
An d if I could go back and
just change things, would
But it's taking so long to overcome
And the growing is learning
Makes us say goodbye sometimes
But your eyes don't make you cry
It's what's go ing on inside
And it feels like somebody died
And I didn't get to say goodbye
It's what's going on inside
When it feels like somebody died
And I didn't get to say goodbye
When I didn't get to say goodbye
Sometimes when you say goodbye,
Seemed like a mile across the room,
she didn't know I was there tonight
I saw her when she came in,
