(Al Gore)

You're the sweetest one I know and I just can't let you go
I just dream of holding you inside my arms
I go home each night to stay but I just can't stay away
And we get closer, closer by the hour.

We get closer by the hour though we've tried with all our power
To stay away from each other's arms
We get closer by the hour like the bee goes to the flower
Closer, closer by the hour.

We come closer with each kiss and I feel your lips insist
But I do your will and love you more and more
Although we know it's wrong we can't stay where we belong
And we get closer, closer by the hour.

We get closer by the hour though we've tried with all our power
To stay away from each other's arms
We get closer by the hour like the bee goes to the flower
Closer, closer by the hour...
(Al Gore)      You're the sweetest one I know and I just can't let you go   I just dream of holding you inside my arms   I go home each night to stay but I just can't stay away   And we get closer, closer by the hour.      We get closer by the hour though we've tried with all our power   To stay away from each other's arms   We get closer by the hour like the bee goes to the flower   Closer, closer by the hour.      We come closer with each kiss and I feel your lips insist   But I do your will and love you more and more   Although we know it's wrong we can't stay where we belong   And we get closer, closer by the hour.      We get closer by the hour though we've tried with all our power   To stay away from each other's arms   We get closer by the hour like the bee goes to the flower   Closer, closer by the hour...
