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 as they moved cross the floor But 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 Drops a coin in the jukebox not the phone on the wall So close Yet so far away We believe in tomorrow and a better day We lie down to sleep so close Yet so far away There's a restless look in you eye tonight There's a secret hurt in my heart And the dream that pulls us together girl Is a dream that keeps us So close Yet so far away Some people think if you really believe That's all you need to solve all the mysteries Well I know someone who just heads for the sun She says "I don't want to be wise, I just want to stay young" 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 apart
