The Closer I Get To You
Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway
(James Mtume, Reggie Lucas)
1977

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you 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

Oh, Sweeter than sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
who fool the tricks of time
With the hearts in love they find true love
In a special way

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

Over and over again
I try 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



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

The closer I get to you
The feeling comes over me
Me too
Pulling closer, sweet as the gravity

The closer I get to you... [fade]
