In the quiet of evening I start to drift away
Imagining a place where you'll be starting off your day
I fight the distance with a picture in my head

But I don't know when I'll see you
I guess I'll have to dream instead
You're so far away

If I could be I'd be with you
Even if for just one day

'Cos if I close my eyes and dream on
I can fool myself in sound and vision
Like a satellite reaching out through the night
I could almost be touching you

And when we're talking long distance on the phone
You know it makes me feel like I'm not so alone
The situation never causes me no pain
The communication that we have is on another plane

All the waiting makes me stronger
And the time between us flies

Whenever I close my eyes and dream on
I can fool myself in sound and vision
Like a satellite reaching out through the night
I could almost be touching you

If I could be I'd be with you
Even if for just one day
Those miles between us, they just start fading away

Whenever I close my eyes and dream on
I can fool myself in sound and vision
Like a satellite reaching out through the night
I could almost be touching you
