The Distance
by Stuart Benbow

Our eldest is preparing to move to the west coast and begin a new life. This song is half fatherly advice, and half heartfelt message that he's going to be missed.

Lyrics

You're spreading your wings
And you're ready to fly
Eager to tackle this journey called life

Your mom and your dad
We're just a phone call away
Though thousands of miles will soon separate

It's not the distance that matters most
Hold on to the memories, while making more

You've found a girl,
And she''s captured your heart
Son, she's a keeper, though times can be hard

It's not the distance that comes between
Hold on to those feelings, strongest as a team

She's gonna get mad, and I know you will too
Talk out your troubles, so it can't undo you

Creating a distance that's too hard to cross
Hold on to each other, remember your love

It's not the distance that matters most
Hold on to the memories, while making more
