I always appreciate friends who share songs with me. Thanks a lot to you guys.
So Close. It’s playing now. A song from the movie – Enchanted.
A nice movie, which, I believe, left many thoughts in the minds of the audiences, including me after the show.
I love to play this very song on my Nokia E65, music player and also while driving. It just gives me this very special feeling to me whenever I listen to it. I even play it on repeat mode while I’m on the wheel, sometimes.
Remember that time when you were just so close to something, someone but… just didn’t turn towards that happy end? Let’s face it, it happens sometimes. But why? We ourselves may or may not know the answer. And how many times were we just so close, but still said our goodbyes to that happy end?
You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close
So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close
How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far
We want our happy ends, you know it, but sometimes, we just walk away from it. You saw a chance there, which you always longed for and should take it, but turned away from it. Sounds familiar to most of us, doesn’t it? Why didn’t we grab that very opportunity, when things were just so close, so close… Think of it…
There can be a time when you decided to let go or turn away from the happy end or even not walk towards it, just because you love a person too much. It's true. You'll agree if we've walked thru the same path before. Never mind if it doesn't make sense to some, but sooner or later, it will.
And this song just makes me, and maybe most of us, to think back of how close we were to reaching that happy end.
