The closer you are
(Yes, ma'm)
The brighter the stars in the sky
(No, we'll do it straight)
And darling,
I realize
That you're the one in my life
(It's gonna be hard though)
Oh oh

My heart skips a beat
(See what I mean?)
Every time
You and I meet
My life, my love, my dear
I can't defeat
This yearning deep in my heart
To have only you

When I first saw you,
I did adore you,
And all your loving ways
(Your loving . . . )
But then you went away,
But now you're back to stay, hey-hey
And my love for you grows stronger every
Day-ahhh Way-ahhh Ooh

The closer you are,
The brighter the flames in my heart,
And darling,
We'll never part
We'll always be in love
We'll always be in lust . . .
