Close Encounters

From The Bride2016

Written by Natasha Khan

Produced by Ben Christophers, David Baron, Simone Felice, Natasha Khan

Lyrics

Close Encounters

Some say my lover is a pale green light He hovers high where the moon shines bright I feel him come to me in the dead of night And I go to the other side And when he lovingly takes my hand Pulls me close to a windswept land I can't make anybody else understand How I go to the other side You know that I'll love you till the stars don't shine You know that you'll always fill this heart of mine And I could never forget with time All our close encounters All our close encounters And on the other side, he's all around He is a starry beam that lays me down And we become a dream of time and sound When I go to the other side You know that I'll love you till the stars don't shine You know that you'll always fill this heart of mine And I could never forget with time All our close encounters All our close encounters All our close encounters
