Move Closer
Phyllis Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey baby, you go your way
And Ill go mine
But in the meantime

When we're together, touchin' each other
And our bodies do what we feel
When were dancin', smoochin' and swayin'
Tender love song softly playin'

Move closer
Move your body real close
Until we-ee-ee-ee
Feel like we're really makin' love

Ooh-ooh, move closer
Move your body real close
Until we feel like we're really makin' love

So when I say sugar-are and I whisper I love vou
We-e-ell I know you're gonna answer in the sweetest voice
Sayin' my pretty la-ady
I love you too-oo-oo-oo-ooh well

There's much room for passion, ooh-no-no
There's no room for fears
When, the love flows smoothly between us, baby
My dear-ear-ear-ear-ear

Move
Move closer
Move your body real close
Until we feel like we're really makin' love





Woh-oh-oh, move closer
Move your body real close (fade)

Hey baby, you go your way
Hey, my love, we may have our own paths to follow


And Ill go mine
And we may have to walk them separately for a little while


But in the meantime
But in the interim


When we're together, touchin' each other
When we're next to each other, in each other's arms


And our bodies do what we feel
And our emotions lead to physical expression


When were dancin', smoochin' and swayin'
When we're dancing, kissing, and caressing


Tender love song softly playin'
A romantic ballad softly crooning


Move closer
Come closer to me, my love


Move your body real close
Put your body against mine


Until we-ee-ee-ee
Until we, uh, you know


Feel like we're really makin' love
Feel as though we're intimate


Ooh-ooh, move closer
Ooh-ooh, come a little closer


So when I say sugar-are and I whisper I love vou
So when I call you sugar and say I love you softly


We-e-ell I know you're gonna answer in the sweetest voice
I know your response will be tender in return


Sayin' my pretty la-ady
Addressing me in a flowery tone


I love you too-oo-oo-oo-ooh well
Proclaiming your affection for me


There's much room for passion, ooh-no-no
There's ample space for romanticism


There's no room for fears
But none for anxiety or apprehension


When, the love flows smoothly between us, baby
As long as our love flows effortlessly

My beloved

Come a little closer


Move closer
Come closer to me, my love

Wow, this song with its incredibly emotional lyrics still floods my heart with emotions as much as it did around 40 years ago when I first heard it and danced with my then partner in my arms at the age of 23... “Move closer “ a song that invites you to dream down memories. And it's certainly not just me, as a man who is now 64 years old...💃🕺❤‍🔥

This was mine and my wife’s wedding song and I played it at her funeral after she sadly died of a brain tumour aged 48. Makes me happy and sad 💚💚💚💚💚
