This Close - Chynna Phillips

Time wasn’t on our side

Our lives pulls us away

And I face the lonley night

Love put us to the test

We were touching less and less

In a world of emptiness

Oh is the answer here

Right here in your arms

Baby hold me near and

Keep our love from harm

This close

We’ve never been this close before

We almost walked away

This close

We’ve never been this close, I pray

That every step I take

Gets closer to you

That’s when there’s time and distance

Something gets through

Till we’re this close

We’ve never been this close

I waited by the phone

The candles burned for you

But you never did come home

The night ain’t your closest friend

In a cold and empty bed

With the words we left unsaid

Oh I know the answer’s here

Right here in my arms

Baby never fear

My love will keep you warm

I held my breath for you

Nevertheless I knew inside

I’d be with you

Maybe it was pride

I’ve heard in time love grows

But I never dreamed we’d be

This close

I’ve never been

This close to you
