Song Lyrics

They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym
He fell like a rock, she kinda liked him
And his heart beat like thunder when they moved 'cross the floor
When the music was over, she slipped out the door

Yeah, a man loves a woman but he can't understand
Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand
Then she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall
Drop a coin in a jukebox, not the phone on the wall

So close, yet so far away
So close, yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow in our better day
Then we lie down to sleep, so close, yet so far away

There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
And the dream that pulls us together, girl
Is a dream, is a dream that keeps us so close
Yet so far away

Some people think if you really believe
But that's all you need to solve all the mysteries
Well, I know someone, who just heads for the sun
'Cause 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, maybe more than today
Then we lie down to sleep, so close, yet so far away

There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
And the dream that pulls us together, girl
Is a dream that's gonna tear us, tear us apart

There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
And the dream that pulls us together, girl
Is a dream that pulls us so close

Ooh, there's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart, so close
And the dream that pulls us together, girl
Is a dream that pulls us so close

There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart, so close
And the dream that pulls us together, girl
Is a dream that makes us so close, yet so far away
