Getting Closer
[Intro]
Let's listen to the radio
[Verse 1]
I woke up this morning
And to my surprise
As the day was dawning
There's nothing on my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, it's been a long time
Yeah, it's been a while
Since I rolled out of bed
Oh, with a smile, ooh
[Chorus]
I'm getting closer, oh
Ooh, I'm getting closer, yeah
[Verse 2]
And as I walk down the street
It seems that every person that I meet
Seems happy inside
Smiling as they walk by
I hear the radio playing tunes
And for once it's got a groove
And the sunshine is hot
I can hear people laughing loud
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, it's been a long time
Oh, yeah, it's been a while
Since I spent the whole day
Oh, with a smile, ooh
[Chorus]
I'm getting closer, oh
Ooh, I'm getting closer, yeah
[Verse 3]
With the music that I make
I make sure they know my name
And by the time that I'm gone
There'll be no more songs to be sung
I guess music's my best friend
I mean it never ever lets me down
Oh, sweet melody
It's the glorious sound
Music brings us together
Makes us all one
And I know that forever
There'll be songs being sung, ooh
[Chorus]
I'm getting closer, oh
Ooh, I'm getting closer, yeah
[Outro]
Now life may be tough, children
But don't give up now
It's only just begun
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
