As I stood and said goodbye

With a lump in my throat

Couldn't bear the hurt inside

As I found your foolish note



While I understand your pain

I could see what you've to gain

By leaving me alone

Why won't you come back home



But your love whispers through my life

And I can't fake the pain inside



If you'd only let me get close to you

Oh girl, I'd feel the world's at my feet

And I'd know that all my dreams have come true

For me and for you

Just wait and believe, you'll see

I want to get close to you



Close to you So close to you Close to you



Well the road was long

And my tears have all dried up

Because the distance we shared

Was an enemy of love



I got my bag on my back

And my coat in my hand

I'm gonna take this distance

Unto another man's land



But your love whispers through my life

And I can't fake the pain inside



If you'd only let me get close to you

Oh girl, I'd feel the world's at my feet

And I'd know that all my dreams have come true

For me and for you

Just wait and believe, you'll see

I want to get close to you



Close to you So close to you Close to you



I want to get close to you

Close to you So close to you Close to you

So close to you Close to you

So close to you Close to you
