Our lives pulls us away
And I face the lonley night
Love put us to the test
We were touching less and less
In a world of emptiness
Oh is the answer here
Right here in your arms
Baby hold me near and
Keep our love from harm
Chorus:
This close
Weve never been this close before
We almost walked away
This close
Weve never been this close, I pray
That every step I take
Gets closer to you
Thats when theres time and distance
Something gets through
Till were this close
Weve never been this close
I waited by the phone
The candles burned for you
But you never did come home
The night aint your closest friend
In a cold and empty bed
With the words we left unsaid
Oh I know the answers here
Right here in my arms
Baby never fear
My love will keep you warm
(chorus)
I held my breath for you
Nevertheless I knew inside
Id be with you
Maybe it was pride
Ive heard in time love grows
But I never dreamed wed be
This close
(chorus)
Ive never been
This close to you
