Keith Whitley - Ten Feet Away Lyrics
Alone at a corner table,
She was watching me watching her.
I was singin' about an old flame burning,
She was hanging on to every word.
She was pouring out the wine.
Through the smoke and the beer,
It was perfectly clear,
That we were touching each others minds.
It was love ten feet away.
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face.
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place.
It was love just ten feet away.
I knew that I was heaven bound.
I could tell she was moved, but before I was through.
This stranger walked up and set down.
He was trying his best to impress her,
But she never took her eyes off me.
When he got up and left, I said to myself...
Woh-o-woh what a night this will be.
It was love ten feet away.
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face.
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place.
It was love just ten feet away.
It was love ten feet away.
Imagine her in my arms, with that look on her face.
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place.
It was love just ten feet away.

Keith Whitley Ten Feet Away Comments
It's a good song but the kids did not grow up with this nowadays I like it because I grew up with I like Keith Whitley I like
To bad Country can't be like this today
I just found out about Keith - there is a video here that talks about the real deals of famous covers... I love that song When you say nothing at all - I thought it was an Irish hit, it turns out Keith recorded it originally.... I´m here in Brasil, so no Keith CDs around.... I ordered through Amazon his greatest hits - then found out he passed away in the late 80´s... alcohol... so sad... Buth he left a heck of a legacy... The songs in this greatest hits CD makes me go back to the US countryside in the '80s, when singers would sing love songs without much effort, not trying too hard, just singing... the music with the lyrics and the voice of the singer would match perfectly... Great times... forever eternal in these beautiful songs and performances...
Rest easy 🐐🐐
Something special about his voice.
This is real country music and they sang from the heart. Now days they don't. They sing crap for money not to touch people's heart's
I grew up listening to the legendary Mr. Whitley. We were both born and raised in the same neck of the woods, out in the backwood hills and hollers of eastern KY. Won't ever be another one like him neither...What a voice, but what a shame.
All those dislikes proves to me one thing............They don't know what country is....Final!
Love and miss you Keith........
251 dislikes??? Must be new country/rap fans that disliked Kieth Whitley... They must've been abused children....
This is real country period
Greatest Country Singer ever.
1.1 million views?!?!?!?.Guess only 1.1 million people knows beautiful music!!!
What a lost treasure, he had so much more to do, so many more songs to pour his heart out on...
IthinkKeith whitley is agreat singer loveismiusic love him You Rock mariacameron
My god this speaks to very soul.
One of my favorite Artists and one of the Great Country Music Artist that we lost way to soon. RIP Keith
One of the best of times. Legend
Lorrie Morgan loved this guy so much. Sad ending
You can now pawn your guitars somewher along music row im guessing
I recall when he died in 89. I did not think I'd recover. Loved him. Greatest voice & a soundtrack of my life.
The King of Country in my eyes, regardless of how short his life was.

It was love ten feet away
Mitch it was love the night we met wasnt it honey I love you please hurry home my love sweetheart I miss you love you love me
One of goat
I wish he was still a live he's one of my very faveret singer's it's him and Earl Thomas Conley. Thay hit it out of the park we have the same sole
Makes me wish I was back home again sliding that Keith Whitley tape in the portable radio. Passing the summer afternoon away.
I still remember exactly where I was the day the radio broke in with a special announcement that he had passed. I was only 14 but knew we lost a true talent that day.
No matter if he gone but his music live on Forever. I was there back in June 1989 first time was at Fan Fair, once saw booth and family there break bad news still shock he still gone. But his memories live on Forever. Still remember this song on radio stations air play back then. Still greatest hit album. A plus.
He was trying his best to impress her
but she never took her eyes off me
Imagine her in my arms ....
With that look on her face
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love just ten feet away
💝💝💝💝💝
This is the only song where he sounds like George strait
My friend Faith told me and she said her uncle died 😢😥💔😥😢💔
My great grandma died in 1991
My great grandpa died in 2006
Our favorite....enough said.
Absolutely Amazing. I saw him live at Stardust in Wichita Falls a couple of mos b4 he passed and I danced to Ten Feet Away and I never felt so safe and loved in the moment. God Bless You Keith Whitley. Rest in Peace. There will never be another You.
I have my 15 year old daughter who was born in 2003 listening to his music. Since she was 4 years old. Really surprised of the old country music she listens to that I did back then.
Imagine her in my arms .....
With that look on her face
❤❤❤❤ it was love ten feet away ....
Our favorite song....we must have danced to this a thousand times. I miss you...
Found a excellent singer: westly denis.

Oh Keith, you were gone too soon. Best voice in country music ever!
One of the greatest singers of all time. Keith, had a wonderful voice that no one could match. He has been greatly missed. Rest in peace, Keith.
Yep that’s how it starts
Reminds me of a very good night I had in the early 90s. Shout out to a hot bartender. I still think about him everytime I hear this song
My favorite Keith Whitley song
Imagine goodness and kindness
My true love was only 5 feet away. We tried but it just didn't work
Should ov been 4 feet.

2018!!!! San Antonio Texas baby!!!!!!
2018 attention whore!!!!!
San Antonio right here no place else can you find a country dance hall. It was love just ten feet away.
This is the first time I listened to this song won't be the last !! He just had it !
I've never heard this song until tonight. 05-11-18. Great Song.
Keith clearly could have went on to accomplish many great things in the music world. Honestly think he woulda been up there with George Strait had he lived to a ripe old age.
Danny Hempuhhill g and
114 people are 11 feet away.
I love this man!!!!
