Ten Feet Away - Keith Whitley

Alone at a corner table

She was watching me watching her

I was singing about an old flame burning

She was hanging on to every word

I was pouring out my feelings

She was pouring out the wine

Through the smoke and the beer

It was perfectly clear

That we were touching each others minds

It was love ten feet away

Imagine her in my arms

With that look on her face

Lying somewhere in some shadowy place

It was love just ten feet away

I just knew my closing song would do it

I knew that I was heaven bound

I could tell she was moved

But before I was through

This stranger walked up and set down

He was trying his best to impress her

But she never took her eyes off me

When he got up

And left I said to myself

Woh what a night this will be

It was love ten feet away

Imagine her in my arms

With that look on her face

Lying somewhere in some shadowy place

It was love just ten feet away

It was love ten feet away

Imagine her in my arms

With that look on her face

Lying somewhere in some shadowy place

It was love just ten feet away
