You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid my goodbye
And never knew
So close, was waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I wanted
To hold you so close
So close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
And now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far we are, so close
Oh how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now
We're so close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
For we know we are
So close, so close
And still so far
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive
A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid my goodbye
And never knew
So close, was waiting
Waiting here with you
And now, forever, I know
All that I wanted
To hold you so close
So close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
And now you're beside me
And look how far we've come
So far we are, so close
Oh how could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now
We're so close to reaching
That famous happy end
Almost believing
This one's not pretend
Let's go on dreaming
For we know we are
So close, so close
And still so far

taken out of the context of the movie, i'd say it's about those "almost" relationships, those that could have worked, and become the most beautiful thing in the world. and you're so desperate to see that happen. but in the end nothing comes of it.
gorgeous.
For instance, an relationship of estrangement or unhealthy behavior between a parent and child that is suddenly getting back on track... But then either the parent or child becomes acutely ill or something, thus pre-emptively putting a satisfactory relationship out of reach.
*sigh* So touching....
