Light Years - Glen Campbell, Jimmy Webb

There’s a lot of empty space separating me from you

It feels like eternity

A lonely place, but I have to make it through

Your love is my destiny

You’re just across the room

But on a scale of tears

Well it seems like light years

Since I first looked into your eyes

Light years

And saw them fill with sweet surprise

Light years

Since we said our last goodbye

It was a long hard fall when I fell in love with you

It felt like immortality

I came as close to it as anyone could do

But it almost cost my sanity

It’s not that long ago

In our short careers

But it seems like light years

At least as far as I can see

Light years

Since I held you close to me

Light years

My love goes on endlessly

And it’s just another party and it’s just another noise

And suddenly our eyes meet and you almost lose you poise

And in that fraction of a second

I know you love me still because the

Light years

And I don’t know where or when

Light years

'Til you’re in my arms again

Light years

I’ll be waiting for you until then

Light years

Since I looked into your eyes

Light years

And saw them fill with sweet surprise

Light years

Since we said our last goodbye
