From A Distance - Ricky Nelson

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 distance

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
