Close As Pages In A Book
Bing Crosby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll be close as pages in a book
My love and I
So close, we can share a single look
Share every sigh

So close that before I hear your laugh
My laugh breaks through
And when a tear starts to appear
My eyes grow misty too

Our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground
We'll hold them fast
Darling as the strongest book is bound
We're bound to last

Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart
We'll be close as pages in a book
Never to part

Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart




We'll be close as pages in a book
Never to part

yeah, I just got it for 33 cents at the thrift store, a tad worn, but it plays well, what a beautiful record.

The previous owner probably wasn't a Bing Crosby fan, it happens... you should see my Rolling Stones LP's (never even played); I probably wanted to impress the cool classmates at the time... but I was a Beatles fan :D
