Michael Martin Murphey Lyrics
"Worlds Apart"

Sometimes when you're near to me
You're not what you appear to be
You're there but somehow hard to see
So near yet so far from my heart

You're standing there but where do you stand
Am I your lover or just your man
Once we faced life together hand-in-hand
And now we're worlds apart

Sometimes I see you standing there
Pretty flowers in your hair
I gave you a ring I thought you'd wear
Until they stopped the beating of my heart

Now I stumble on the words I say
You seem a thousand miles away
Sometimes we're just like night and day
Until we're worlds apart

We've worked and planned as hard as we can
To spend a little time alone some day
But now we realize someday may never arrive
We should have shared our love along the way

Beyond the games that lovers play
Unconditional love is the only way
Can we find that kind of love someday
Or are we worlds apart
