A World Apart — 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
