Closer To You
D.M.P Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Can never be more than friends

And all the while inside
I knew it was real
The way you make me feel

Lying here in your arms
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let's give love a try

Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts of love define
True love
In a special way

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

Closer I get to you
(Closer I get to you)
Feeling comes over me
(Feeling comes over me)

We're going closer and sweeter as gravity
The closer I get to you
