One Step Closer
S Club Juniors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just trying to get through
And it's taking all of my strength
To keep me here away from you
It doesn't matter
Just how long it takes
Nothing changes
When we're apart
It's just a little bit longer
We've come this far
One step closer to heaven baby
Means one step closer to you
There'll be no more livin'
Without you baby
I'll be counting each minute
'Till i'm back to you
One step closer to heaven baby
Hold on hold on
Hold on to my lovin'
I've been saving every little bit
Of my love for you
I've been dreaming just to get by
It's so exciting, Fantasising
It doesn't matter
Just how long it takes
Just to know
We'll be back together
And this time its forever
One step closer to heaven baby
Means one step closer to you
There'll be no more livin'
Without you baby
I'll be counting each minute
'Till I'm back to you
One step closer to heaven baby
Hold on hold on
Hold on to my lovin'
It doesn't matter
Just how long it takes
Nothing changes
When we're apart
It's just a little bit longer
We've come this far
One step closer to heaven baby
Means one step closer to you
There'll be no more livin'
Without you baby
I'll be counting each minute
'Till i'm back to you
One step closer to heaven baby
Hold on hold on
Hold on to my lovin'

I've been waiting just a long time
I have been waiting for a very long time to be with you
Just trying to get through
I am trying hard to get through this difficult time
And it's taking all of my strength
It is taking all of my energy to stay away from you
To keep me here away from you
I am staying away from you even though it is hard
It doesn't matter
The time we will wait doesn't matter
Just how long it takes
It does not matter how long it takes for us to be together
Nothing changes
Our love is not affected by distance
When we're apart
Even if we are not physically together
It's just a little bit longer
We just have to wait a little bit more
We've come this far
We have already come a long way
One step closer to heaven baby
Every step we take to be together brings us closer to heaven
Means one step closer to you
Every step I take brings me closer to you
There'll be no more livin'
I cannot imagine living without you
Without you baby
My life means nothing without you
I'll be counting each minute
Each minute feels like an eternity without you
'Till i'm back to you
I will keep counting until I am with you again
Hold on hold on
Please hold on to me and our love
Hold on to my lovin'
Please hold on to the love I have for you
I've been saving every little bit
I have been saving every ounce of love I have for you
Of my love for you
I have so much love for you
I've been dreaming just to get by
I have been dreaming of being with you just to get through each day
It's so exciting, Fantasising
Just thinking of being together makes me feel excited and happy
Just to know
Just knowing that we'll be together soon
We'll be back together
We will be reunited
And this time its forever
This time, our love will last forever
