“distance makes the heart” Lyrics

There’s a rip in the old screen door

And a crack I’ve never seen before

The floors are old wise and worn

From a thousand memories born

I sit down in my favorite chair

So many good times started there

Now it’s time to repair

to recharge with love and care

Oh it’s strange to be apart

A heavy longing weighs on the heart

And though right now they ride the wind

I know the good times will come again

We’ll look back on where we’ve been

With a kinder wiser grin

When we’re together from the start

We get one life one love one happy heart

I spend my life on the open road

Always longing to be home

Such a new change of pace

To meet life’s humbling embrace

I sit down and I drift to sleep

Such a brightly colored dream

All together once again

Sharing laughter with our friends

Oh it’s strange to be apart

A heavy longing weighs on the heart

And though right now they ride the wind

I know the good times will come again

We’ll look back on where we’ve been

With a kinder wiser grin

When we’re together from the start

We get one life one love one happy heart

So let us sing all the songs that we know

And share the melodies that bring us all hope

We'll sing a song on the breeze

And send it out across the sea

All together we will heal and we will grow

Oh it’s strange to be apart

A heavy longing weighs on the heart

And though right now they ride the wind

I know the good times will come again

We’ll look back on where we’ve been

With a kinder wiser grin

When we’re together from the start

We get one life one love one happy heart
