[Verse 1]
He was the man from a dream I once knew
Golden heart, eyes that saw me through
But I was just a girl, too wild, too free
Didn’t know love was standing in front of me
[Pre-Chorus]
And time moved on, like it always does
But I kept dancing with the ghost of us
[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes, we’re back on Fifth Avenue
Spinning under city lights, you holding onto me
I’ve loved you in silence for twenty years straight
And no man I’ve met could ever take your place
You’re the one I let go, but you never left me
You’re still the dream I dance with on Fifth Avenue
[Verse 2]
I wore my youth like a shield from the truth
Didn’t know what I had ‘til I lost you
They came and went, but none could stay
‘Cause your shadow chased them all away
[Pre-Chorus]
And though the world’s grown colder now
I still remember the warmth somehow
[Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes, we’re back on Fifth Avenue
Laughing like the world was ours, no shoes on our feet
I’ve loved you in silence for twenty years straight
And no touch since then has ever felt that safe
You’re the one I let go, but you never left me
You’re still the dream I dance with on Fifth Avenue
[Bridge]
If I could rewind, I’d run back in time
Hold you close and call you mine
But now you live in melodies
Of the girl I used to be
[Final Chorus]
Every time I close my eyes, we’re back on Fifth Avenue
Frozen in a perfect night only I still see
I’ve loved you in silence for twenty years straight
And no man since you could ever change that fate
You’re the one I let go, but you never left me
You’re still the dream I dance with on Fifth Avenue
[Outro]
You’re still the dream I dance with…
On Fifth Avenue
