One Step Away

To a restless heart, it's been a long time comin'
For a dreamers dream, I would keep on runnin'
I know it's right to be with you, save me
One step away from the promised land
Reach out and take my hand
I need you darlin'
Never been this close to love before
Never needed anybody more than I need you darlin'
Through a lonely heart there's a fire burning
And the dream of dreams sees love returning
I know it's right to be with you forever
...one step, one step away
I need you darlin'
Never been this close to love before
Never needed anybody more than I need you darlin'
