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.

I was pouring out my feelings,
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 just knew my closing song would do it,
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.

  1. B.... B....

    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

  2. K.... F....

    To bad Country can't be like this today

  3. M.... ....

    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...

  4. J.... c....

    Rest easy 🐐🐐

  5. J.... M....

    Something special about his voice.

  6. R.... A....

    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

  7. J.... L....

    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.

  8. A.... S....

    All those dislikes proves to me one thing............They don't know what country is....Final!

    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.

  37. j.... b....

    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.
