Sandra Boynton Lyrics
"Faraway Cookies"

When the sunlight has gone and the green hills turn gray
And the day turns to evening somehow
Then i'm thinking of you though your so far away
And I'm wanting you close to me now

Oh chocolate chip cookies so high on the shelf
Hiding inside of the jar
I'm not tall enough to reach you myself
so near and yet so very far

I can never forget you your all I adore
though many long moments I've tried
I call out your name but
I'll have to do more
To bring you back here to my side

Oh chocolate chip cookies so high on the shelf
hiding inside of the jar
I'm not tall enough to reach you myself
So near and yet so very far

If I had three wishes theyed all be for you
if I had my way you'd be mine
Oh the reach wouldn't matter
if I had a latter
If I weren't so short we'd be fine

We,we would be back together someday
I cannot be happy till then
I have loved you before
I could love you some more
and I want to be with you again

when the sunlight has gone
and the green hills turn gray

old chocolate chip cookies so high on the shelf
Hiding inside of the jar
Im not tall enough to reach you myself
so near and yet so very far

and I wish I could be where you are
