Song lyrics

Send "A Thousand Miles" ringtones to your cell

Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

It's always times like these 
When I think of you
And wonder if you ever think of me 
Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory

Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by, oh
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't

Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way through the crowd

And I still need you 
And I still miss you 
And now I wonder 

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles 
If I could just see you, oh, oh

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you tonight

12 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This is such an amazing song. The lyrics are strong and powerful.. This is my all-time favorite song. I sang this song for the talent show, and I have loved it ever since. The album is great, too. If you're interested in piano, try this song-it's fun and easy. It's an aWeSoMe song!!! =)

218 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I heard this song ages ago and then forgot about it. Then i tried playing a jap piano song and then this song came back into my head!!! I've tried playing it. 's easy enough, but still sounds great. my friends find it weird i listen to music with females singing, but i don care bout anything as long as the song sounds good. and this song's all good wish i could give melody a '6'coz i would
