Marti Pellow - Close To You Lyrics

time was never on our side
beauty reaches for the light
from the shadow of your smile
into my heart
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 want to 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
a life of love that springs we know
from every word
into my soul

treasure buried deep inside
turns the hands of love way back in time
leaving all the past behind
can we let it go?

every night I turn the lights down
slowly
and watch you in your afterglow

I want to 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
for things to change
the fear is gone
we've turned the page
in our book of love

and to know this love
is to hold it all
from high above and
feel the flow of your love
my love

I want to 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

I want to get close to you
tell me you want me too
I want to get close to you
I want to get close to you
