Cole Porter - So near and yet so far

My dear, I've a feeling you are

So near and yet so far

You appear like a radiant star

First so near then again so far.

I just start getting you keen

On clinches galore with me

When fate steps in on the scene

And mops up the floor with me.

No wonder I'm a bit under par

For you're so near and yet so far.

My condition is only so-so

'Cause whenever I feel you're close, oh

You turn out to be, oh, so far.

I just start getting you keen

On clinches galore with me

When fate steps in on the scene

And mops up the floor with me.

No wonder I'm a bit under par

For you're so near and yet so far.

My condition is only so-so

'Cause whenever I feel you're close, oh

You turn out to be, oh, so far.
