Time wasn't on our side Our lives pulls us away And I face the lonley night
Love put us to the test We were touching less and less In a world of emptiness
Oh is the answer here Right here in your arms Baby hold me near and Keep our love from harm
Chorus: This close We've never been this close before We almost walked away This close We've never been this close, I pray That every step I take Gets closer to you That's when there's time and distance Something gets through Till we're this close We've never been this close
I waited by the phone The candles burned for you But you never did come home
The night ain't your closest friend In a cold and empty bed With the words we left unsaid
Oh I know the answer's here Right here in my arms Baby never fear My love will keep you warm
(chorus)
I held my breath for you Nevertheless I knew inside I'd be with you Maybe it was pride I've heard in time love grows But I never dreamed we'd be This close
