Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time

And I'm runnin' out of things to do to get you off my mind, oh

All I have is this picture in a frame

That I hold close to see your face every day

[Chorus]

With you is where I'd rather be

But we're stuck where we are

And it's so hard, you're so far

This long distance is killin' me

I wish that you were here with me

But we're stuck where we are

And it's so hard, you're so far

This long distance is killin' me

[Verse 2]

It's so hard, it's so hard

Where we are, where we are, you're so far

This long distance is killin' me

It's so hard, it's so hard

Where we are, where we are, you're so far

This long distance is killin' me

[Verse 3]

Now, the minutes feel like hours and the hours feel like days

While I'm away

You know right now I can't be home, but I'm comin' home soon

Comin' home soon

All I have is this picture in a frame

That I hold close to see your face every day

[Chorus]

With you is where I'd rather be (With you, where I'd rather be)

But we're stuck where we are

And it's so hard, you're so far

This long distance is killin' me

I wish that you were here with me (You were here with me)

But we're stuck where we are

And it's so hard, you're so far

[Bridge]

Can you hear me cryin'? Oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Can you hear me cryin'? Oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Can you hear me cryin'? Oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

Oh-whoa, oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-whoa, oh, oh

[Chorus]

With you is where I'd rather be (Where I'd rather be)

But we're stuck where we are

And it's so hard, you're so far (So hard, so far)

This long distance is killin' me

I wish that you were here with me

But we're stuck where we are

And it's so hard, you're so far (So hard, so far)

This long distance is killin' me

[Verse 4]

It's so hard, it's so hard

Where we are, where we are, you're so far

This long distance is killin' me

It's so hard, it's so hard

Where we are, where we are, you're so far

This long distance is killin' me

[Outro]

There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time
