(Written by Natalie Cole)      Here you are right by my side      Words cannot express how I feel      Being this close to you      Heaven seems much nearer in your eyes      I wish that I could touch your lonely heart      I can see your face and I start to trembling all inside      Don't know why but it's true      We're so close and yet so far away      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart      Open up and let my light inside      I just wanna be your friend      Let's forget about the tears we've cried      Darling I just wanna love you      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart      Open up and let my light inside      I just wanna be your friend      Let's forget about our foolish pride      Darling I just wanna love you      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart      Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo      Here we are together now      Wanting you but don't know how      Knowing I care for you      Even if we have to start all over again      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart      Open up and let my light inside      I just wanna be your friend      Let's forget about the tears we've cried      Darling I just wanna love you      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart      Open up and let my light inside      I just wanna be your friend      Let's forget about our foolish pride      Darling I just wanna love you      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart      Open up and let my light inside      I just wanna be your friend      Let's forget about the tears we've cried      Darling I just wanna love you      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart      (Open up and let my light inside) Oh----      (I just wanna be your friend) I just wanna be your friend      (Let's forget about the tears we cried)       Ooh, hoo my darling I just wanna love you      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart      (Open up and let my light inside) Open up, let my light inside      (I just wanna be your friend) I just wanna be your friend      (Let's forget about our foolish pride) Ooh, hoo my darling I just wanna love you      Wish that I could touch your lonely heart...
