Story Behind The Song
I met Monica, in an "old dance hall". Love at first sight. Next meeting was at a party as the song follows. All the events match what was going on in our lives and my mind at the time.

Lyrics
I remember that night and that look. The night I met you and I felt that hook.
Standing with your back on the wall I felt my world shaking right in that old dance hall.
Next step I move real fast. I finally end up just where your at.
Then you smile so sweetly, I feel myself get lost completely.
Oh oh, 24 Miles to your smile
Oh oh, 24 Miles to your smile
Next time that I caught your view, turn the corner and right there was you.
You float by oh so sweetly I feel myself get lost completely.
Outside with the flashlight glare. Watch your step there's a prickly pear.
The stars in the sky are shining I can't tell who brighter while you keep on smiling.
Oh oh, 24 Miles to your smile
Oh oh, 24 Miles to your smile
And as something make no sense right from the start, I't just incase you break my un-mended heart.
Top down and I'm cruising fast. I've got to meet you at a quarter past.
Sun sinking low behind me the thought of you well it just blinds me
Not sure how far this will last. All I know I've got a tank full of gas.
I realize loves uncertain, in 22 miles I'll be closer to knowing.
Oh oh, 24 Miles to your smile
Oh oh, 24 Miles to your smile
