I went to a restaurant that night
I thought for sure it was you standing by the door
I was nearly certain when he turned to me
Part of me wanted him to be
But I knew he couldn't be you
If only it had been the first time but no
He was just the closest
But not close enough
I could see you in his eyes
And it didn't seem like were as far from me as you are
There's a dream I remember from so long ago
You appeared from nowhere in front of me
It looked almost like something out of an old movie
We talked & danced till dawn to a nearby jukebox
I woke up hoping the dream had been real
But no
When I felt the need to see you then
All I could manage was the next best thing
He was the closest
But not close enough
I'd hear him speak
Close my eyes & imagine it was you
I went to a restaurant that night
I thought for sure it was you standing by the door
I was nearly certain when he turned to me
