Across the Miles

[Intro] (solo piano motif) [Verse 1] Another night, another empty room The moonlight whispers that you’re coming soon I read your letters till the words wear thin And leave the porch light on to let you in [Chorus] So I’ll be holding on through every lonely mile Holding on to every memory of your smile Let the seasons change, let the rivers run I’ll be waiting here till the waiting’s done ’Cause no distance in this world could ever break The promise that we made [Verse 2] I tell my friends that I am doing fine Then trace your name on every window line They say that time will make the aching cease But only your voice can bring me peace [Pre-Chorus] And if the night gets cold, and if the road gets long Just close your eyes and listen to this song [Chorus] So I’ll be holding on through every lonely mile Holding on to every memory of your smile Let the seasons change, let the rivers run I’ll be waiting here till the waiting’s done ’Cause no distance in this world could ever break The promise that we made [Guitar Solo] (melodic electric guitar solo over full band and strings) [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow, maybe years from now I’ll see you standing in the doorway somehow And all the tears I cried will turn to rain That washes every lonely day away [Final Chorus] (key change up) So I’ll be holding on through every lonely mile Holding on to every memory of your smile Let the seasons change, let the rivers run I’ll be waiting here till the waiting’s done ’Cause no distance in this world could ever break No, nothing in this world could ever break The promise that we made [Outro] (piano motif returns) Across the miles… I’m still yours
