So Close To The Forest 1934

You're like the weather
changeable heart
tho' we're together
we're far, far apart.

So close to the forest
you can't see the trees,
So close to my lips
and you can't hear my pleas.
I'm at a loss
till you understand,
each bridge we cross
must be crossed hand in hand
so close to the music
you can't hear the song,
so far from the arms
where you belong!
You're wasting a lifetime
in moments like these
so close to the forest
you can't see the trees.

So close to the forest
you can't see the trees,
So close to my lips
and you can't hear my pleas.
I'm at a loss
till you understand,
each bridge we cross
must be crossed hand in hand
so close to the music
you can't hear the song,
so far from the arms
where you belong!
You're wasting a lifetime
in moments like these
so close to the forest
you can't see the trees.
