A World Apart Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

Lost in a feelin' 

So very deep inside of me 

Something's not healing 

Ever since you left this place 

Oh, but I loved you 

And although I didn't know you 

Just the idea of you 

Brought rapture to my face 

I feel, I almost got to know you 

At least you made it to my heart 

Even though we'll always 

Be a world apart 

Now I'm getting on without you 

But I need to cry sometimes 

'Cause I know we'll always 

Be a world apart, a world apart, a world apart 

Voices of children 

In the streets, I hear them laughing 

It all fades to one voice 

I hear crying in the night 

I think about you 

Wondering if you're out there listening 

As if the words 

I sing will somehow bring you light 

Well, I almost got to know you 

At least you made it to my heart 

But I know we'll always 

Be a world apart 

Now I'm getting on without you 

But there's a shadow in my heart 

'Cause I know we'll always 

Be a world apart 

Seems I almost got to know you 

At least you made it to my heart 

But I know we'll always 

Be a world apart 

Through the constancy of memory 

You will live inside my heart 

Then we'll never have to 

Be a world apart 

Over and over I never knew 

How much till you were gone 

Over and over and over 

You will be mine eternally, I think 

I never knew how much I loved you, baby 

Why do we have to be? 

At least you made it to my heart 

You know I never knew how much 

I never knew how much 

I never knew how much till you were gone
