Too Close To Her (and Too Far From You) Lyrics - Hank Locklin

I was just lonesome I was just blue and I was too close to her and too far from you 

We shared a glass of wine and a dance or two 

And I held her close to me wishing she was you 

That's how things happen that's how things begin 

A heart gets too lonesome and looks for a friend 

I didn't mean to cheat or be untrue 

But I was too close to her and too far from you 

Day after day went by with no letter from you 

And you didn't telephone like you said that you would do 

And darling I felt so hurt when you let me down 

So lonely and tired of just hangin' around 

And that's how things happen... 

(Too far from you)
