| The closer I get to you The more you make me see By giving me all you've got Your love has captured me Over and over again I tried to tell myself that we Could never be more than friends And all the while inside I knew it was real The way you make me feel Lying here next to you Time just seems to fly Needing you more and more Let's give love a try Ooooh-ooh-ooh, whoa-oooooh Sweeter and sweeter love grows And Heaven's there for those Who fooled the tricks of time With the hearts of love they find True love in a special way The closer I get to you The more you make me see By giving me all you've got Your love has captured me Over and over again I tried to tell myself that we Could never be more than friends And all the while inside I knew it was real The way you make me feel The closer I get to you The more you make me see By giving you all I've got Your love has captured me The closer I get to you The feeling comes over me Me too Pulling closer sweet as the gravity |
