The leading single for the album, it’s also the only song to be an original composition. The B-side is When You Wish Upon A Star, which would be included on the 2005 album Sonorite.
I can fly to the stars in the sky
All I really need is your hand in mine
Satisfied just to be by your side
That's the way I'd like to spend all my time
But life is full of dreams that don't come true
Right now it's keeping me apart from you
I'm lost without you, I need help to pull me through
Love can go the distance
Oh darling, when we're not together
Missing you so much, longing for your touch
Waiting by the phone tonight
Love can go the distance
Oh darling, we can keep the feeling
When you tell me you love me too
I know it's gonna be alright
Photograph, you and me makes me laugh
Gazing at your face and I feel the glow
Echoes of summer nights making love
Try to get to sleep but my heart says no
Don't think that I can last another day
I have to call you when I feel this way
It's like I'm near you, it comforts me to hear you say
Love can go the distance
Oh darling, we can talk about it
You don't have to cry, time is on our side
Soon I'm gonna hold you tight
Love makes all the difference
You know that love lights up the darkness
Darling, you will be next to me
And everything will be alright
Love can go the distance
Oh darling, when we're not together
Missing you so much, longing for your touch
Waiting by the phone tonight
Love can go the distance
Oh darling, we can keep the feeling
When you tell me you love me too
I know it's gonna be alright
When you tell me you love me too
I know it's gonna be alright
When you tell me you love me too
I know it's gonna be alright
Be alright
Be alright
