They met on the dance floor
In the old high school gym
He felt like a rock
She kinda liked him
And his heart beat like thunder
As they moved cross the floor
When the music was over
She slipped out of his arms and out the door
Yes she did
Yeah a man loves a woman
But he can't understand
Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand
Oh she sits in some club
Where the long shadows fall
Drop a coin in the jukebox
Not the phone on the wall
So close yet so far away
So close yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow
Maybe more than today
We're so close
So close yet so far away
Some people think if they really believe
That's what you need to solve all the mysteries
Yeah I know someone who just heads for the sun
She says I don't wanna be wise
I just wanna stay young
So close yet so far away
So close yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow
But we're stuck here today
Baby we're so close
So close yet so far away
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret held in my heart
So close and the dream that pulls us together girl
It's a dream that's gonna tear us tear us apart
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
Oh are you looking for some way out of here
So close we gotta fight to keep it together girl
For the dream that keeps us so close yet
So far away
So close yet so far away
Yeah who would've thought girl
That we'd end up this way
So close so close yet so far away
So close so far away
So close
So far away
So close so far away
So close
So far away
So close so far away
So close so far away
So close so far away so close
