Nichols, Joe - Ten Feet Away Lyrics






Alone at a corner table
She was watching me watching her
I was singing about an old flame burning
She was hanging onto 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 other's minds

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms
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 new
But before I was through
A stranger walked up and sat 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
Woah woah, what a night this would be

It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms
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
That look on her face
Lying somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love just ten feet away

Nichols, Joe Ten Feet Away Comments
  1. A.... G....

    Damn, Keith and Merle rolled into one

  2. k.... r....

    JOE LOVE THAT SONG WELL DONE

  3. A.... N....

    I was devastated when I came home from work to find that Keith Whitney had died. Joe Nichols is a great replacement.  love him.

  4. R.... R....

    I had the great privilege of seeing Keith do this song live, and have also seen Joe, and both of them do this song justice. This is one of the country songs that will hold up to the test of time. It doesn't matter who comes along, I would suspect that if we asked any of today's artist if they were a Keith Whitley fan, most likely the answer would overwhelmingly be yes, the man continues to have an impact to today long after his death.

  5. A.... N....

    who wouldn't like that 6'2" frame.

  6. A.... N....

    Chills.

  7. A.... B....

    Why on earth would he record a cover of this song and not change it all? Like a cheesy 80s cover band production. What a wonderful song but at least change it up. What a waste.

    A.... B....

    Alex Bellin then it would'nt be a cover "duh"

    A.... B....

    countrygirl countrymusiclover yup.

    A.... B....

    What the fuck is wrong with retard music fans? You got idiots who complain when a cover sounds different then you got idiots who complain when nothing is changed, shut the fuck up

  8. w.... e....

    Good job Joe from a fellow Rogers Arkansas resident.

  9. S.... ....

    That was pretty good! I liked it a lot.

  10. J.... D....

    GOOD song from Joe Nichols.

    J.... D....

    Jennifer Dijames its by keith whitley not him dont get stuff twisted nobody from this time can make a country song that beautiful

  11. B.... N....

    KILLED IT!!!!!!

  12. D.... M....

    Good job Joe

  13. B.... A....

    Not even close. Sorry, Joe. Still like ya.

  14. S.... B....

    There must be a wedding version of this exact song!!!

  15. J.... V....

    KEITH WHITLEY SONG, TEN FEET AWAY, WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. BUT WHEN I HEARD JOE SING IT, SOMETHING ABOUT JOE'S VOICE REMINDS ME OF KEITH'S VERSION. BOTH VERSIONS ARE GREAT, BUT I'M A BIG FAN OF JOE'S, SO I LOVE JOE'S VERSION! HE COULD SING THE PHONEBOOK, AND IT WOULD BE GREAT. "JOE" KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND KEEP COUNTRY IN COUNTRY MUSIC!!!❤❤YOU

    J.... V....

    Jennifer Van Hoose I thought Joe really made sure he was close to Keith's voice on this one. Which makes it more meaningful.

  16. C.... K....

    You sang this song beautifully as well as Keith. I remember Keith as if it was yesterday...never forgotten.

  17. c.... v....

    Good Cover of Keith's original. No One will ever be as great as Keith, but this is a real close call.

    c.... v....

    Keith Sings This Song Way Better Sorry Joe

    c.... v....

    Well , of course Keith sings it better, it belongs to Keith, he wrote it.

    c.... v....

    countrygirl countrymusiclover nobody is equal to keith Whitley well not these new singers they not even real country no more

    c.... v....

    Should check out Daryle Singletary's cover of Miami, My Amy.. Turn that on, close your eyes and you'll think it's Keith Whitley...

    c.... v....

    @carol vine just because someone sang it before doesn't automatically make it better than any cover fyi

  18. R.... K....

    Thanks for keeping keith's memory, good job on cover!

  19. J.... K....

    Great job covering a true legend like Keith Whitley!
