How can love cover the distance?

How can love manage the space?

The memory's a miracle worker

But it doesn't make up for your face.

 

For a lifetime you lived close by me

I saw you most every day

And I thought that you'd always be there

But suddenly you went away

 

You can't put a price on the life we knew

But when you left that life was through

Ever since that day when you walked out

Love's not a word I care about

 

There's never been anything so precious

As the feeling I held in my heart

I would have spent every penny I earned

To keep us from drifting apart

 

No matter that I'm not a rich man

With you I could never be poor

I had all the riches that I'd ever need

Each time that you answered your door

 

You can't put a price on the love we had

But then you left and life went bad

Ever since that day when you walked out

Love's not a word I care about
