Across the Room

[Verse] In this smoky bar on a Friday night, She's sitting there in the neon light, A vision of beauty, a dream in blue, A lonely man’s wish, so close, yet untrue. [Verse 2] I nurse my drink and steal glances her way, Heartbeats echo every word I'd say, If courage found me, I'd walk that mile, But all I can do is imagine her smile. [Chorus] Across the room, she's a galaxy afar, A burning flame, a distant star, In my mind, I hold her tight, Across the room, she's my moonlit night. [Verse 3] She laughs, she dances, she lights up the place, I long to be the reason for her grace, But my feet are glued to this hickory floor, She’s my silent serenade, needing more. [Verse 4] If only the jukebox played my heart’s song, She’d see me brave, where I belong, But silence binds me, fear clips my wings, In my dreams, we'd dance, life’s sweeter strings. [Chorus] Across the room, she's a galaxy afar, A burning flame, a distant star, In my mind, I hold her tight, Across the room, she's my moonlit night.
