Our project closed But somehow we stayed near The work was finished Yet your words were always here No one really knew How much we needed those calls Two voices on a corporate cloud Trying not to let the whole thing fall The office felt so cold The days were long and gray But somehow you could make me laugh And chase the clouds away Who else would ask about me When I was feeling ill? Who else could hear my silence Before I said a word? You knew when I needed joking You knew when I needed space And every time I heard your voice I couldn't help but smile I missed you when you weren't there I knew I shouldn't say why There was something I had to hide Something I couldn't name As long as you still needed me I'd keep the feeling out of sight We would meet again someday And I would play the game just right I won't betray her trust I know the lines we cannot cross We'll meet in Maryland We'll talk about the work We'll walk beside the river We'll laugh about the past And if I'm only daydreaming Perhaps we'll dance at last Just friends Just friends That's what we'll say That's what we'll say And maybe we'll believe it For one more day Three years of waiting For one unexpected chance A business trip to Maryland One week outside the plans We talked until the daylight faded Then watched the evening fall And suddenly the distance Didn't seem so far at all The river carried city lights Across the Potomac tide The world was moving past us But for once we stayed beside it We laughed again We talked again As if the years had disappeared For one short week The life we knew Was nowhere near We weren't supposed to be together We lived so far apart You had your life And I had mine But somehow we had found this part Maybe it was only friendship Maybe it was something more We didn't ask the question We didn't need to know Care to dance? Shall we dance? Just one? Just one No promises? No promises Then let the river decide We turned beneath the evening lights Two friends beneath the stars For one brief night the world stood still And nothing felt too far No vows no promises No future we could claim Just one unforgettable night We dared to call by name As long as we still need each other We'll hold this moment tight We'll carry it through every mile Through every lonely night Tomorrow we'll return again To separate roads and lives We'll smile we'll wave we'll say goodbye And hide what lives inside But I'll remember Maryland I'll remember that night
