A Few Steps Away

A Few Steps Away - Bagatelle

Tommy used to live on the second floor

I guess he doesn't live there anymore

Mary live in the room downstairs

No one ever saw behind that door

And everyday

They'd pass each other in the hall

And every night

They'd sit alone behind that wall and love

Was just a few steps away

Oh

Came a day one afternoon

Tommy met Mary she was leaving her room

They walked together through the summer heat

And said goodbye at the end of the street

And all that night he lay awake in bed

Thought of the girlt that he just met

And down below she lay awake too

Neither of them knowing just what to do and love

Was just a few steps away

And isn't it strange

Two people never knowing that the other is there

And isn't it life

So near and yet so far and almost there

But isn't it sad

What the one that you want is almost at your door

But you you never know

Oh

They fell in love but who can say

What might have happened on another day

Tommy didn't want to push too fast

And Mary didn't know if this love could last

And everyday

They'd pass each other in the hall

And every night

They'd sit alone behind that wall and love

Was just a few steps away

Just a few steps away

Oh love

Just a few steps away

A few steps away

A few steps away

Oh
