Lyrics
A WHISPER AWAY
Maggie Vida, July 2004
Refrain:
I?m just a whisper away from emotion
A shadow apart from my fear?
Only a word between lonely and comfort
Desperately needing you near?..
I?m just a whisper away from a heartache
A moment apart from your soul?..
Only a touch between tears and contentment,
Spiraling out of control??.
Verse 1:
I?m standing on the edge, I?m try?in to bide my time
Waiting and longing patiently??.
Rehearsing sentiments that never could be mine
Imprisoned, fighting to be free? (to ref.)
Verse 2:
You?ve got your future plans, it?s time for movin? on??
It?s clear you?re leav?in me behind?
Sweet mem?ries lingering to threaten healing?s calm
Relenting, clouding up my mind?am I dreaming?
Too blind to see? holding to a vision? not meant to be?. (to ref.)
Coda:
Just a whisper away??. just a whisper away? just a whisper away?.
