“Loving From a Distance”

Verse 1

I’m the shadow by the doorway,

The quiet in the room,

The one who keeps on smiling

While you’re dancing with the moon.

I don’t ask for attention,

I don’t call your name,

But every time you’re hurting,

I feel it just the same.

Pre-Chorus

Some love doesn’t stand in the spotlight,

Some love never asks to be seen,

It just waits with open arms

Somewhere in between.

Chorus

I’ve always been in the background,

Unseen but never gone,

Loving from a distance,

Holding on so long.

You may never notice

The tears I never show,

But I’ve loved you in the silence

More than you’ll ever know.

Verse 2

I watched you chase your sunrise,

I watched you lose your way,

I wished that I could tell you

I was proud of you each day.

But I stayed behind the curtain,

Let others take the light,

And loved you like a candle

Burning softly through the night.

Pre-Chorus

Some hearts don’t need a promise,

Some souls don’t need a crown,

They just keep on loving

When no one turns around.

Chorus

I’ve always been in the background,

Unseen but never gone,

Loving from a distance,

Holding on so long.

You may never notice

The tears I never show,

But I’ve loved you in the silence

More than you’ll ever know.

Bridge

If you ever feel the quiet

Wrapping gently round your heart,

That was me still standing near you,

Even worlds apart.

If you ever hear a whisper

In the middle of the rain,

That was all the love I carried

Calling out your name.

Final Chorus

I’ve always been in the background,

Unseen but always true,

Loving from a distance,

Still watching over you.

Maybe I was hidden,

Maybe I was low,

But I loved you in the silence

More than you’ll ever know.

Outro

So I’ll stay where I have always been,

Softly out of view,

A heart inside the background,

Still loving you.
