(Salvatore Cutugno/Vito Pallavicini)

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are.
Love can be such a long lonely road
When you are leaving the one you love.
So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are.
I cry but you just laugh at my pain, I'll never see you again.

The car that gave us happiness is driving me to loneliness
I had to leave you.
When I go by familiar scenes that once were part of all my dreams
When I believed you.
Why do I keep thinking of you ? Wish to God I didn't love you.

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are.
Love can be such a long lonely road
When you are leaving the one you love.
So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are.
I cry but you just laugh at my pain, I'll never see you again.

The radio goes on and on, why does it play your favourite song ?
I've learned to hate it.
As I pass by, I catch the eye of lovers who don't know that love
Is overrated.
Love is something that can hurt you, only memories don't desert you.

So near and yet so far, I'm here but there you are.
Love can be such a long lonely road
When you are leaving the one you love.
