[verse] You were the only thing I held dear to me But then you went away And you left me cold inside [verse] Now I hope that maybe some day you’ll be near to me And not so far away because baby I can’t hide the tears [pre-chorus] But when I see you in my mind’s eye It’s just like I am near to you And you’re no longer so far away [chorus] And I look and I smile And I think to myself I’m just a moment away from you [verse] You were the sun, and the moon, and the stars to me And you said you would be back You couldn’t stay away forever [verse] But you said that you had to go a place that was far from me But you promised you’d be back But I can’t wait through all of the years [pre-chorus] But when I see you in my mind’s eye It’s just like I am near to you And you’re no longer so far away [chorus] And I look and I smile And I think to myself I’m just a moment away from you [instrumental, key change] [bridge] And I look at the pretty sky And I see your pretty face And I think of what you said to me But baby, it can’t take your place [bridge 2] I’ve gotta have you here with me I’ve gotta have you near to me Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh [guitar solo, original key] [pre-chorus] But when I see you in my mind’s eye It’s just like I am near to you And you’re no longer so far away [chorus] And I look and I smile And I think to myself I’m just a moment away from you [chorus] I know it’s tearing me up in side That I can only see you in my mind’s eye I wish you weren’t so far away [chorus] So I could be with you now And could truthfully say I’m just a moment away from you [outro] Just a moment away from you
