    I have listened to this song for weeks and the lyrics are so fitting for this forum and I just wanted to share. Do any of you feel this way? Sorry about the length but it all so fitting and perfect.

    Half A World Away

    You're half a world away,
    Standing next to me.
    It seems that every day,
    I'm losing you almost invisibly.
    Though you are near
    I can't reach that far,
    Across to where you are.
    And so you just stay ..
    Half a world away.

    And I would cross,
    The universe for you.
    What good would it do,
    If you weren't even there?
    Till you return -
    Until your way is clear.
    I will be here ..
    Not half a world away.

    You're half a world away,
    And no one is to blame.
    If love outlives its day,
    And turns into an ember from a flame,
    I love you as before,
    Till worlds will be no more.
    Till I can find a way,
    To where you stay ..
    Just half a world away.

    Composed by Rolf Lovland

    Deanna, you just reduced me to tears with those lyrics. So appropriate, so very moving.

    folly,

    Thank you and glad you found them appropriate. The music is incredible as well and here is a link to both on youtube. I listen constantly and like you, in tears, but it helps.
