I dream about those days
Now half a world away
When I could hold your hands
Feel your touch
Look in your eyes
We're still the best of friends
A love that never ends
Yet all alone I stand
In our place
Upon the sand
That wild and deep expanse of blue
It's all that separates me and you
In time
And it's just not fair
That the only way I can
See your face
Is on a 4 inch screen
With a blackened case
Oh why
Did you have to be
Halfway round the world
We swore we'd never leave
I still cannot believe
We had to say goodbye
Without knowing
For how much time
That wild and deep expanse of blue
It's all that separates me and you
In time
And it's just not fair
That the only way I can
See your face
Is on a 4 inch screen
With a blackened case
Oh why
Did you have to be
Halfway round the world
Oh I remember the
Summer we met
A night I'll never forget
It was like being in a film scene
I'll never regret
And when we stood on the sand
Watching the sun leave the sky
You took my hand and promised me
That you would always be mine
We spent the summer together
Knew it right from the start
I never dreamed that we'd end up
3000 miles apart
We didn't know when we'd get
To see each other again
And you held me close
Like we'd never let go
Why did you have to go
That wild and deep expanse of blue
It's all that separates me and you
In time
And it's just not fair
That the only way I can
See your face
Is on a 4 inch screen
With a blackened case
Oh why
Did you have to be
Halfway round the world
Did you have to be
Halfway round the world
Halfway round the world
