My name is Loren Noblitt and I bought the new V3 album recently
and thought I'd tab this song out because it sounded really cool...so I
did and here I am to share it with all of you. I've never done this before so cross your fingers...

Lyrics:
if i cannot see you from afar
look into your eyes, that hint of depth
hidden inside
if i cannot hear you from afar
whisper in my ear, rest assured that
you are near
and I now not what it's like
the aforementioned
for the distance between us
as are the stars, i only have you
in my imagination
in my imagination
just to love you
from afar
if i cannot kiss you from afar
press against your lips, taste
the sweetness of your breath
if i cannot touch you from afar
hold you in my arms, keep you warm
and safe from harm
though our circumstances
cause seperation
in the absence
there's a presence in my heart
i will surrender, i'll surrender to my
quiet contemplation
my quiet contemplation
i'll just, i'll just love you
from afar
there must be a better way
a better way of passing the time
'cause I can't seem to get her out,
get her out of my mind...
