Oh I hate to love you Love you from a distance And everytime you write I kiss your name Oh I hate to love you Love you from a distance And loving you this way Seems all in vain Holding you in my dreams Isn't quite the same it seems I love you, but it's hard to do From a thousand miles away Oh I hate to love you Love you from a distance Just to kiss your lips Is all I pray Holding you in my dreams Isn't quite the same it seems I love you, but it's hard to do From a thousand miles away Well I'm gonna love you but not from a disatnce I'm comin' home to you I'm gonna stay Yes I'm gonna love you But not from a distance And when I hold you near You'll hear me say
