3000 Miles Ago - Milt Jackson & The Monty Alexander Trio

It wasn't that long ago We were talking on the phone 'Til the middle of the night We're not wasting any time And it wasn't that long ago I couldn't wait to get home And look you in the eyes I thought that you would be mine forever If I was up and it was just a dream I'll close my eyes and go back to sleep And if I told you I could set you free Would you pack your bags and run with me? 'Cause it wasn't that long ago We were talking on the phone 'Til the middle of the night We're not wasting any time And it wasn't that long ago I couldn't wait to get home And look you in the eyes I swore they would be mine forever Swore they would be mine forever Swore they would be mine forever If I woke up and this was just a dream And some other man had you smiling A heart don't make no sound when it's breaking So, I wrote this song that we both could sing 'Cause it wasn't that long ago We were talking on the phone 'Til the middle of the night We're not wasting any time And it wasn't that long ago I couldn't wait to get home And look you in the eyes I swore they would be mine forever Swore they would be mine forever Swore they would be mine forever (Hey, you remember that time we stood on the docks? The tide was really low and the sky was purple, your favorite color? You had sunflowers in your eyes that day. I wish I could live in that moment. I'm about to get on the plane. I just really miss you.) 'Cause it wasn't that long ago We were talking on the phone 'Til the middle of the night We're not wasting any time And it wasn't that long ago I couldn't wait to get home And look you in the eyes I swore they would be mine forever Swore they would be mine forever Swore they would be mine forever Swore they would be mine forever Swore they would be mine forever
