作曲：J. Siegel/D. Pack/M. McDonald/Janis Siegel/David Pack/Michael McDonald

Lost in a feelin'

So very deep inside of me

Something's not healing

Ever since you left this place

Oh but I loved you

And although I didn't know you

Just the idea of you

Brought rapture to my face

I feel I almost got to know you

At least you made it to my heart

Even though we'll always

Be a world apart

Now I'm getting on without you

But I need to cry sometimes

'Cause I know we'll always

Be a world apart a world apart a world apart

Voices of children

In the streets I hear them laughing

It all fades to one voice

I hear crying in the night

I think about you

Wondering if you're out there listening

As if the words

I sing will somehow bring you light

Well I almost got to know you

At least you made it to my heart

But I know we'll always

Be a world apart

Now I'm getting on without you

But there's a shadow in my heart

'Cause I know we'll always

Be a world apart

Seems I almost got to know you

At least you made it to my heart

But I know we'll always

Be a world apart

Through the constancy of memory

You will live inside my heart

Then we'll never have to

Be a world apart

Over and over I never knew

How much till you were gone

Over and over and over

You will be mine eternally I think

I never knew how much I loved you baby

Why do we have to be

At least you made it to my heart

You know I never knew how much

I never knew how much

I never knew how much till you were gone
