THE CLOSER YOU ARE
I’ve never been much of a dance
But I’m real good at stepping on toes
You tell me that that doesn’t matter
Let’s give it a go
But when the band starts playing a slow one
And your every step falls into place
My feet never know where they’re goin’
‘Til I put my arm ‘round your waist
The closer you are, the closer you are
The closer you are the better I get
Every time you’re not around
I get these out-of-town blues
It always brings me low down
Being so far from you
When you call in the morning to tell me
That you can’t stand to wait one more day
That beautiful sky overwhelms me
When you’re up there flying my way
The closer you are, the closer you are
The closer you are the better I get
Some nights we fight and waste precious time
You stay on your side and I stay on mine
‘Til one of us reaches across to find
Our way back to each other again
The closer you are, the closer you are
The closer you are the better I get
The closer you are the better I get
The closer you are…
