Close To Me
Elmio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

with every move that I make
And every step that I take
Each single breath through my lungs
It's everyday the morning comes
With every promise we made
And every dare we break
I'm getting closer to you
Nothing else I rather do

I'll miss you

Please let me rest for a while
with baby here by my side
'cause soon the moment will come
time to be the lonely one
So let me hold you once more
Before I walk through that door
I have to leave you again
though my heart is aching

I'll miss you so
I'll miss you
I'll miss you so

'cause soon the moment will come
It's time to live on my own
Yes, soon the moment will come
It's time to stand on my own

I'll miss, I'll miss my love
I'll miss, I'll miss my love
I'll miss, I'll miss my love
I'll miss, I'll miss my love

With every promise that we make
And every day that we break
I'll never lose my faith in you
so please be near me
With every way I say to you
And all the lips to be true
I'll never lose my faith in you
so please be near me

Because I miss you
Baby I wish you
Yes, I'll miss you
Oh, I'll miss you
Because I miss you, miss you, miss you
Baby I'll miss you
Baby I'll miss you
Baby I'll miss you, miss you, miss you
And I will miss you, my love
And I will miss you, so my love




And I will miss you, my love
And I will miss you, my love
