CLOSE TO YOU
Bebe & Cece Winans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want to be close to you
Sunshine, moonlight, delight just a couple words describing who you are
Lovely, so lovely want everyone to know why I'm in love with you

Patient and strong, always, no matter what I face
You've been there to see me through
Just right (right on) on time,
It took a while to see that your love was true

Now no one can (undo)
Cause I belong (to you)
Until the end (of time)
It's good to know (good to know you're mine)
And all I want (to say)
Until my dying (dying day)
I just want to be close to you

Honest and sweet
Heaven is where I want to be
Where I am when I'm with you
Perfect, yes perfect
It's what you gave for all the world to see

Now no one can (undo)
Cause I belong (to you)
Until the end (of time)
It's good to know (you're mine)
And all I want (all I want to do is say til my dying day)
I just want to be close to you

Come on CeCe and follow me
Say dah dah, you say (dah dah)
Say dah dah
Dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
Dah dah (mm, mm) dah dah
It took a while to see, now we know the truth

Now no one can (undo)
I belong (to you)
Until the end (of time)
Good to know (good to know you're mine)
And all I want (all I want to say, till my dying day)
I just want to be close to you




Ya ya ya ya (how long will you stay)
I just wanna be close to you

When I found God, I had slept for 3 months in a coma! When I woke up, I didn't understand why I was in the hospital! I asked a nurse, why am I here! She said, I can't tell you right now! I was totally confused! Two of my neighbors had my kids! I thank them until this day! Who would take a neighbor kid? Get them to school everyday, give them lunch money! I love my neighbors! I thank God for all of them!

@SweetBrownGirl

You were sleeping in the peace of God girl, just resting girl. Must've had a lot of stress going on at that time, so Lord must've let you get some much needed rest lol
