Places i will never see
Things that i will never be
Showing me it's a long way from there to here
Things i never knew i'd do
Want to share them all with you
but sometimes it's a long way from there to here
Why, why can't things just stay the same?
It's a long way from there to here
I don't want things to stay the same
No, but it's a long way from there to here
All of the people i've known
With all of their help i have grown
And sometimes it hasn't been nice
Yes i've been doublecrossed once or twice
Oh but some people were my dear friends
And i never will see them again
And as i get older each day
The memories just fade away, to grey, every day
When i was only just a lad
Sometimes things were pretty bad
But now i know it's a long way from there to here
But now, i've got to introduce my little girl
To this ever spinning world
And it's a long way from there to here
