As the Distance Grows

I wanted to give you a call
To tell you how I've been this week
Nothing's new, but I just wanted to hear your voice
And then you said you had to take another call
And the call ended before I said goodbye

I want to hold you close
If only to reassure myself
That everything is still how it used to be
But then you pull away to look down at the screen
The moment's broken before I can say i love you

Don't you know how it feels
To sense the distance growing when we're so close
Love is like a flower
And it will fade without your care
We never know from one day to the next
If the one we love will still be here
Don't take love for granted
Cherish every minute now

I want to hold your hand
And tell you everything's okay
But the words seem empty even within my head
I don't know for how much longer I can go on like this
But I've worked too hard, I don't know how to let go

Don't you know how it feels
To sense the distance growing when we're so close
Love is like a flower
And it will fade without your care
We never know from one day to the next
If the one we love will still be here
Don't take love for granted
Cherish every minute now

When life is good
It's easy to say that everything's gonna last forever
Making sweet promises when you don't have to back them up
It's not until that things are all falling apart
When you suddenly realize how long the winter can be
So cherish every minute now

Don't take love for granted
And cherish every minute now
