she played the piano in a little place down the way

her fingers tellin' stories her heart could never say

he often came inside there

and sat just for a bit

lost in her music and lonely as he could get

they never talked to each other, but glances said it all

someday they would step outside their fear

and answer their hearts call

meanwhile they just played the game

lost in their own worlds

each of them them wishing for the other

seeking that illusive pearl

chorus

wanting to freefall into love

in a touch of their hands

a meeting of the minds, quiet understanding

it took them by surprise they weren't at that place to look

but it was right there in front of their eyes

just like a storybook

finally he strolled to her and the joy just lit her face

he said what do you do when you're out of here,

out of this place

she answered with a soft laugh

reached her hands across the keys

...i dream of you, i've waited patiently

...let's go, can we please

and they walked down the road a ways

and found another place with a guitar player

singin by himself and a girl who studied his face

he held her so tiredly and guided her across the floor

their dances steps mentioned what was in their hearts

it was meant to be for sure

and under the moonlit skies they dance the night away

they have found each other

and each was there to stay

chorus

cause they were freefalling in love

in a touch of their hands, a meeting of the minds

quiet understanding

it took them by surprise, they weren't at that place to look

but it was right there in front of their eyes, just like a storybook

just like a storybook
