TOO FAR FOR COMFORT
1. EVERY SINGLE EVENING, SAME STRANGER SHARES MY BED
HER FACE IS SO FAMILIAR, COULD IT BE WE ARE WED
START A CONVERSATION, SHE NEVER HAS TOO MUCH TO SAY
LYING RIGHT BESIDE ME, SHE?S A MILLION MILES AWAY
CHORUS: A LITTLE TOO FAR FOR COMFORT, A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO GOODBYE
A LITTLE TOO STRONG FOR MY HEART, HURTS TOO MUCH TO CRY
SHE?S SENDING ALL THE SIGNALS, THERE AIN?T MUCH TIME
A LITTLE TOO FAR FOR COMFORT, A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO GOODBYE
2. LOVESEAT BY THE FIREPLACE, WE USED TO SNUGGLE UP REAL TIGHT
NOW IT SEEMS WE CAN?T EVEN GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO FIGHT
THE LOVE THAT ONCE WAS IN HER EYES, I HAVEN?T SEEN IN YEARS
GUESS THEY?VE BEEN COVERED UP BY THE LAYERS OF DRIED UP TEARS
C H O R U S
BRIDGE: NOW HER BAGS ARE PACKED AND HER DRESSER?S BARE
L-RD, WHAT A SIGHT TO SEE
TAKING EVERYTHING SHE CARES ABOUT
AND THAT DON?T INCLUDE ME
CHORUS: A LITTLE TOO FAR FOR COMFORT, A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO GOODBYE
A LITTLE TOO STRONG FOR MY HEART, HURTS TOO MUCH TO CRY
SHE SENT ME ALL THE SIGNALS, NOW I?M OUT OF TIME
A LITTLE TOO FAR FOR COMFORT, A LITTLE TOO CLOSE TO GOOD
