Cliff Richard - London's Not Too Far lyrics

She takes the step, that’ll mean goodbye to home She knows it’s time to make the break She’s got a bag with a mirror, brush and comb That’s all she really needs to take She’s got to travel light She’s walking all the way “London’s not too far” She’s heard the neighbour say Her heart just beats like it’s never done before If someone stops her life, she’ll die A little prayer as she tumbles with the door She hopes her mom and dad won’t cry She planned it all herself And now she’s on her way “London’s not too far” She’s heard the neighbour say She’s so in love with a man she doesn’t know She’s only seen him on T.V. But love is strong and it’s calling her to go To London where he’s sure to be The door is open now She’s free to walk away “London’s not too far” She’s heard the neighbour say She looks outside; it’s a wet and windy night It looks so very dark and cold She thinks perhaps London’s not so very bright Especially when you’re five years old
