A World Apart by Manhattan Transfer

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

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
