Close To You

Marti Pellow

Time is never on our side
Beauty reaches for the light
From the shadow of your smile
Into my arms
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 wanna 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
The life of love that springs we know
From every word
Into my soul

Treasure buried deep inside
Turns the hands way back in time you know
Leaving all our past behind
Can we let it go?

Every night I turn the lights down slowly
And watch you in your afterglow

I wanna 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
But things to change
The fear is gone
We've turned the page
In our book of love

And to know this love
Is to own it all
From high above
I feel the call
Of your love
My love

I wanna 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

Oh, I wanna get close to you
Tell me you want me too
I wanna get close to you
I wanna get close to you, ooh
Mmm, mmm
