The summer air was heavy and sweet
You and I on a crowded street
There was music everywhere, I can see us there
In a happy little foreign town
Where the stars hung upside down
A half a world away, far far away
I remember you were laughing
We were so in love, we were so in love
And the band played songs we'd never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh la la la la la la la oh
And we danced anyway
They say you can't go back, baby I don't believe that
Come along with me, come on and dance with me
Maybe if I hold you close
Baby we could just let go
Of these things that tie us down, we'll come back around
Do you remember we were laughing
We were so in love, so in love
And the band played songs we had never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh la la la la la la la la la oh
And we danced anyway
Do you remember we were laughing
We were so in love, we were so in love
And the band played songs we had never heard
But we danced anyway
We never understood the words
We just sang oh la la la la la la la la la oh
And we danced anyway
We've always been the best of friends
No secrets and no demands
But suddenly from somewhere out of the blue
I see a different light around you
One thing I haven't told you, I just want to hold you
And never let go, I need to know
How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been telling me
Lost in your lovin' arms that's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there
You probably think I've lost my mind
Takin' this chance crossin' that line
But I promise to be truer than true
Dreaming every night with these arms around you
I can't wait any longer this feeling's getting stronger help me find a way
How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been telling me
Lost in your lovin' arms that's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there
I know the shortest distance between two points is a straight line
But I'll climb any mountain that you want me to climb
The perfect combination is your heart and mine
Darlin' won't you give me a sign
How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been telling me
Lost in your lovin' arms that's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there
How do I get there from here
How do I make you see
How do I tell you what my heart's been telling me
Lost in your lovin' arms that's where I wanna be
You know I love you
How do I get there
From here
You Know I love you
How do I get there
From here
You know I love you
I write you letters, but I don't send them
I just can't figure out how to end them
I try to reach you, you're right beside me
There's something missin' and we can't deny that
We live together separately
We don't want to fall apart
But every time we kiss there's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
How did we lose it, why did this happen
When did we take it all for granted
We sit in silence, inside we're cryin'
How can we keep our love from dyin'
We live together separately
We don't want to fall apart
But every time we kiss there's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
We live together separately
We don't want to fall apart
But every time we kiss there's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
We live together separately
We don't want to fall apart
But every time we kiss there's an emptiness
An absence of the heart
I write you letters, but I don't send them
