Lyrics
"Six Feet Apart"
Richard Schwartz - Music - Andrew Rothstein - Lyrics
Intro:
Six feet apart...
Verse 1
I have never felt a pain like this before
And it scares me to the core...
I'm afraid that it might take you away
All that I can do is pray
Verse 2
Just a week ago I held you close to me
We danced together happily
Now the world we shared may come to an end
... I could lose my dearest friend
CHORUS
You're lying there, six feet apart
I'm crying here cause I can't hold you near my heart
We're all fighting fear six feet apart
And we don't know when, or how this ends
Bridge:
There'll be a cure, of that I'm sure
We'll dance again but God knows when...
CHORUS 2x
You're lying there, six feet apart
I'm crying here cause I can't hold you near my heart
We're all fighting fear six feet apart
And we don't know when, or how this ends...
You're lying there, six feet apart
I'm crying here cause I can't hold you near my heart
We're all fighting fear six feet apart
And we don't know when, or how this ends...
Six feet apart... Six feet apart... Six feet apart
