The Closer You Are

Winfred Lovett, Kenneth Kelly, Gerald Alston, Edward Jesse Bivins

[Chorus Intro]
The closer you are
The better I feel
Falling in love
I can't conceal

[Verse 1]
On the wings of a kiss, that's okay
I can't denied so I'll confess
And when you touch me dear
I feel my best
When we're apart and I can't seem to go on
Why way is dark and I'm all alone
I need comfort from you girl

[Chorus]
The closer you are
The better I feel
Falling in love
I can't conceal
When I look at you
I see so clear
How you must feel when you hold me near

[Verse 2]
The nearness of you means so much
Your glowing eyes
The tender touch
The things we plan to do
May not come right away
Having you around makes my day
I count seconds and minutes and hours
When you're away

[Chorus Outro]
The closer you are
The better I feel
Falling in love
I can't conceal
The closer you are
The better I feel
Falling in love
I can't conceal
