A Million Miles Away Behind The Door
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - André Previn
Performer(s): Anita Gordon



Send back the world
There's too much night for me
The sky is much too high
To shelter me when darkness falls

Four cabin walls
Would be just right for me
I need a threshold I can cross
When I can sit and gather moss
Forevermore
A million miles away behind the door

Roll up the plains
There's too much view for me
There's so much space between
The waiting heart, and whispered word
It's never heard

One room will do for me
Where every evening I can stare
At someone smiling from his chair
Across the floor
A million miles away behind the door

Where every evening I can stare
At someone smiling from his chair
Across the floor
A million miles away behind the door

No fears
No fools
No lies
No rules
Just doing with my life
What life is for
A million miles away behind the door
