As I stood and said goodbye,   With a lump in my throat   Couldn't bear the hurt inside,   As I found your foolish note   While I understand your pain,   I could see what you've to gain   By leaving me alone,   Why won't you come back home?      But your love whispers through my life,   And I can't fake the pain inside      If you'd only let me get close to you   Oh girl, I'd feel the world's at my feet   And I'd know that all my dreams have come true   For me and for you,   Just wait and believe, you'll see   I want to get close to you...      Close to you,   So close to you,   Close to you...      Well the road was long,   And my tears have all dried up   Because the distance we shared,   Was an enemy of love      I got my bag on my back,   And my coat in my hand   I'm gonna take this distance,   Unto another man's land      But your love whispers through my life,   And I can't fake the pain inside      If you'd only let me get close to you   Oh girl, I'd feel the world's at my feet   And I'd know that all my dreams have come true   For me and for you,   Just wait and believe, you'll see   I want to get close to you...      Close to you,   So close to you,   Close to you...      I want to get close to you...      Close to you,   So close to you,   Close to you...      So close to you,   Close to you,   So close to you,   Close to you...
