John Miles - Closer to You Lyrics

Sunny days and sweet romances,

Childhood dreams, forgotten chances pass you by.

Time has gone, and far behind you

Music plays and lights that blind you fade and die.

So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,

Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.



Feel as if it's now or never,

We can make it last for ever,

Don't ask why.

Closer to you, don't ever find my way,

Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.

Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day

Closer to you, I will live my life

Closer to you.



In the evening, dancing shadows

Gather, caring, where the wind blows, fancy free.

In our world of empty spaces

Strangers in familiar places, you and me.

So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,

Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.



There's no need to wonder whether

Happiness we'll share together

Can't it be

Closer to you, I don't ever find my way,

Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.

Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day

Closer to you, I will live my life

Closer to you.



So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,

Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.



There's no need to wonder whether

Happiness we'll share together

Can't it be

Closer to you, I don't ever find my way,

Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.

Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day

Closer to you, I will live my life

Closer to you.
