Close To You - Marti Pellow

time was never on our side

beauty reaches for the light

from the shadow of your smile

into my heart

there’s a flower in my field you know

holding love up like a shield

now I know we have it sealed

here in my heart

every night I turn the lights down

slowly

and watch you in your afterglow

I want to get close to you

tell me you want me too

what can I do?

I need you now

and I want you now

in my life

where the stream begins to flow

a life of love that springs we know

from every word

into my soul

treasure buried deep inside

turns the hands of love way back in time

leaving all the past behind

can we let it go?

every night I turn the lights down

slowly

and watch you in your afterglow

I want to get close to you

tell me you want me too

what can I do?

I need you now

and I want you now

in my life

we’ve been holding on for things to change

the fear is gone

we’ve turned the page

in our book of love

and to know this love

is to hold it all

from high above and

feel the flow of your love

my love

I want to get close to you

tell me you want me too

what can I do?

I need you now

and I want you now

in my life

I want to get close to you

tell me you want me too

I want to get close to you

I want to get close to you
