Lyrics

Closer Than Close

[Verse 1]

We share a love that something more than special

We really know what togetherness means

And though we both had our share of bad times

Love was there to pull us through

You win the prize when it comes to understanding

You really know what compassionate means

Just like a blanket your love is all around

Keeping me so save and warm

[Chorus]

Closer than close

How does it feel to be

Closer than most

Nothing on Earth could be closer than we

Lucky our we to be

Closer than close

How does it feel to be

Closer than most

A perfect [?]

[?]

Lucky our we to be

[Verse 2]

You are the past, my present and my future

You are the answer to life's mystery

Our kind of love is so precious and rare

We'll go down in history

As

[Chorus]

Closer than close

How does it feel to be

Closer than most

Nothing on Earth could be closer than we

Lucky our we to be

Closer than close

How does it feel to be

Closer than most

A perfect [?]

[?]

Lucky our we to be

Closer than close

How does it feel to be

Closer than most

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Closer than close

How does it feel to be

Closer than most

Nothing on Earth could be closer than we

Lucky our we to be

Closer than close

How does it feel to be

Closer than most

A perfect [?]

[?]

Lucky our we to be

Closer than close

How does it feel to be

Closer than most

Nothing on Earth could be closer than we

Lucky our we to be
