Far Away, So Close

Kim Spivey 1957 (New York)

Many miles between us, you are so far away.
Tender moments with you in my mind, I constantly replay.
Your leaving me was the hardest thing I ever had to endure.
My loving you is endless, you can count on that for sure.
Distance is the only thing that will keep us apart.
Sweet memories of our love will live on in my heart.
