Keith Whitley Ten Feet Away
Alone at a corner table She was watching me watching her I was singing about an old flame burning She was hanging onto every word I was pouring out my feelings She was pouring out the wine Through the smoke and the beer It was perfectly clear That we were touching each other's minds It was love ten feet away Imagine her in my arms With that look on her face Lying somewhere in some shadowy place It was love just ten feet away I just knew my closing song would do it I knew that I was heaven bound I could tell she was moved But before I was through This stranger walked up and sat down He was trying his best to impress her But she never took her eyes off me When he got up and left I said to myself "Whoa, what a night this will be" It was love ten feet away Imagine her in my arms With that look on her face Lying somewhere in some shadowy place It was love just ten feet away It was love ten feet away Imagine her in my arms With that look on her face Lying somewhere in some shadowy place It was love just ten feet away
