Lyrics

It was a warm night in September under deep Egyptian skies When I looked into your eyes sweet YAR-ah and realized my life was changing I was walking through the streets just a traveler passing through Never dreaming that the ancient wonders of the world would lead to you You spoke without a promise and you smiled without a plan And somehow all my careful defenses slipped right out of my hands I came to see the monuments that history had made But I found a lasting love that time will never let fade Oh YAR-ah there are a thousand miles between us tonight Between the moon over Alexandria and Miami glowing lights Who could have known that September evening in the sand Would make me dream of holding your hand from another land I was not looking for forever but now forever feels true Every single mile is worth walking just to get back to you Now my phone screen glows in the dark at three in the morning We share long calls and stories until the bright day is dawning You tell me about your day while I sit here in the quiet space Missing the sweetness of your smile and your warm embrace We whispered all our secret dreams beneath those desert stars Now we are building up a bridge across the ocean from afar Oh YAR-ah there are a thousand miles between us tonight Between the moon over Alexandria and Miami glowing lights Who could have known that September evening in the sand Would make me dream of holding your hand from another land I was not looking for forever but now forever feels true Every single mile is worth walking just to get back to you Maybe God was listening when we whispered our desires Two hearts in different places both waiting for a fire You were praying for a crossing while I lived day by day Then the memory of Alexandria led my heart your way If we keep choosing one another through every passing night I know the distance between us will disappear in the light Oh YAR-ah there are a thousand miles between us tonight Between the moon over Alexandria and Miami glowing lights Who could have known that September evening in the sand Would make me dream of holding your hand from another land I was not looking for forever but now forever feels true Every single mile is worth walking just to get back to you A thousand miles to you my sweet love across the sea YAR-ah you are the best thing that ever happened to me From Alexandria to Miami my heart is where you are I am coming home to you soon
