How Near Is Love Engelbert Humperdinck (1967) They tell me how far that you fly to the moon And name all the stars that shine above On Venus and Mars we will be very soon Oh, but I want to know how near is love When you're close to me I could touch the sky At times I can see heaven in your eyes You don't know the pain of loving in vain So please tell me now how near is love When you're close to me I could touch the sky At times I can see heaven in your eyes You don't know the pain of loving in vain So please tell me now how near is love So please tell me now how near is love
