One Step Ahead
Aretha Franklin
Intro I’m only one step ahead of heart-break One step ahead of mise-ry One step is all I have to take backwards To be the same old fool for you I used to be I’m only one step ahead of your arms One kiss away from your sweet lips I know I can’t af-ford to stop for one moment ’Cos I’m just out of reach of your fingertips Your warm breath on my shoulder keeps reminding me That it’s too soon to forget you it’s too late to be free Can’t you see? I’m only one step ahead of your love I try and yet I can’t take two Seems like I’ll have to take that one step backwards ’Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you One step ahead is a step too far away from you
