[Intro]         / [Verse 1] Everytime I’ve needed you You’ve been there for me But now I feel a boundary has been drawn I can see from all you do That you still care for me I know the feeling hasn’t gone [Chorus] But there’s a space between us A place that I can’t go Unless you step across and meet me halfway We’ve been friends for much too long And the feeling’s much too strong To let it go astray Reach out and make the space between us go away      [Bridge] I know a little bit of space between two friends Can sometimes do them good But once in a while we need to touch the way that people should Oh love can tie you down I know Cause you know I’ve been there But I’ve been working on a way to love and still be free to care [Verse 3] You love your lady And I know just what you’re thinking Was a time I used to be just where you are But since I’ve found my freedom And I’ve finally let it sink in The distance isn’t very far [Chorus] But there’s a space between us A place that I can’t go Unless you step across and meet me halfway We’ve been friends for much too long And the feeling’s much too strong To let it go astray Reach out and make the space between us go away      [Outro]       I want you to reach out and make the space between us go away I want you to reach out I know that you can hear me Come on and reach out I need to feel you near me I want you to reach out and make the space between us go away I want you to reach out and make the space between us go away
