Lyrics
The closer I get to you The more you make me see By giving me all you've got (Tell me more) Your love has captured me

Over and over again I tried to tell myself that we Could never be more than friends But all the while, inside, I knew it was real (Ooh) The way you make me feel

Lyin' here next to you Time just seems to fly Needing you more and more, more and more (More and more) Let's give love a try (Let's give love a try)

Sweeter and sweeter love grows And heaven's there for those Who fool the tricks of time With hearts of love will find True love in a special way

Oh, ooh, oh, ooh, the closer I get (The closer I get) Closer I get to you, baby The more you make me see (The more you make me see) More you make me see By givin' me what you got, ohh yeah Your love captures me (Your love captures... woo!)

Oh, over and over again I try to tell myself that we Could never be more than friends When all the while inside I knew this was real (Got to be real) Got to be real They you make me feel

You know, you know, you know My baby, my baby, my baby My love Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)

(Come closer love) Come a little closer so that we can see Into the eyes of love I want to see into those eyes of love (Come closer, love) Just a little closer let me speak to you I want to softly tell you something Here I am, here's my love, I just want you to... (Come closer, love) Come a little closer let me whisper in your ear Cuz I wanna tell you something I wanna whisper in your ear so softly...so come closer, love (Come closer, love) Move on in real close so we can celebrate The way we feel a bout each other's loving I wanna tell you words, words of love...
