the closer i get to you

Luther Vandross

"The Closer I Get To You"
(feat. Beyonce Knowles)

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you've got
Your love has captured me

Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel

Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try

Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts in love will find
True love, in a special way

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me what you've got
Your love has captured me

Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
In all the while inside
I knew this was real (got to be real)
The way you make me feel (you know)

My baby, my baby, my baby, my love

Come a little closer so that we can see into the eyes of love

Just a little closer let me speak to you
I wanna softly tell you something
Here I am-- I just want you to come closer
Come a little closer let me whisper in your ear
?Cause I wanna tell you something
Move a little closer we can celebrate
The way we feel about each other?s lovin??
