Lyrics

The clos er I get to (Dmaj9)you,

the more you make me (Dmaj9)see.

By giv ing me all you’ve (Dmaj9)got,

your love has cap tured (Dmaj9)me.

O ver and o ver a (C#m7)gain, I try to (Em7)tell my (A7)self that (Dmaj7)we

could nev er be more than (C#m7)friends, and all the (Em7)while in (A7)side I (Dmaj7)knew it was (C#m7)real,

the way you (Bm7)make me (E7sus)feel.

Ly ing here next to (Dmaj9)you,

time just seems to (Dmaj9)fly.

Need ing you more and (Dmaj9)more:

let’s give love a (Dmaj9)try.

Sweet er than sweet er love (C#m7)grows,

and (Em7)heav en’s (A7)there for (Dmaj7)those

who fool the tricks of (C#m7)time,

with the (Em7)hearts of (A7)love they (Dmaj7)find true (C#m7)love

in a (Bm7)spe cial (E7sus)way.

The clos er I get to

The clos er I get to (Dmaj9)you,

the more you make me (Dmaj9)see.

By giv ing you all I’ve (Dmaj9)got,

your love has cap tured (Dmaj9)me.
