[00:08.10] | |
[00:08.31] | |
[00:11.21] | |
[00:11.67] | Well I’ve tasted love so sweet |
[00:14.38] | Played around but not for keeps |
[00:17.25] | I never been knocked off my feet |
[00:19.49] | Till you came along |
[00:22.43] | In the room surrounding me |
[00:24.75] | Are angels I cannot see |
[00:28.01] | I know they come to carry me to |
[00:30.81] | Where I belong |
[00:32.65] | |
[00:33.06] | Closer to you, closer to you |
[00:38.31] | I’m singing like a sailor strutting up your avenue |
[00:43.61] | Like a clown in a costume shop |
[00:46.48] | With a pocket full of jewels |
[00:52.22] | |
[00:54.79] | All the knocks upon your door |
[00:57.75] | Footsteps fallen on your floor |
[01:00.23] | All the shipwrecks on your shore |
[01:02.61] | Mean nothing to me |
[01:05.51] | All the crooks on Capitol Hill |
[01:08.13] | Criminals on the dollar bills |
[01:11.05] | All the money on Wall Street still |
[01:13.49] | Couldn’t keep me from getting |
[01:16.00] | |
[01:16.24] | Closer to you. Closer to you |
[01:21.31] | Like a priest on a pulpit preaching to an empty room |
[01:26.72] | Like a drunk in a dive bar in the early afternoon |
[01:31.83] | Closer to you. |
[01:35.18] | |
[01:38.02] | Poets could not pronounce your name |
[01:40.86] | Gamblers couldn’t play the game |
[01:43.29] | Matchstick statues set to flame |
[01:45.74] | Couldn’t hold a candle to you |
[01:48.93] | Swindlers on the Sunset strip |
[01:51.66] | Hypnotists and hypocrites |
[01:54.02] | Ventriloquists and Pickpockets |
[01:56.84] | Wish that they could get |
[02:02.07] | |
[02:21.16] | Well I’ve tasted love so sweet |
[02:23.78] | Played around but not for keeps |
[02:26.69] | I never been knocked off my feet till you came along |
[02:31.29] | |
[02:31.78] | I sit through the trickery |
[02:34.22] | The jealousy and vanity |
[02:36.85] | The potency of your prophesy |
[02:39.53] | Because I long to be |
[02:41.76] | |
[02:41.93] | Closer to you. Closer to you |
[02:47.54] | Like a hound dog in a junkyard honey |
[02:50.40] | I’m howling at the moon |
[02:52.98] | Like a Pirate in a pawnshop with a pocket full of jewels |
[02:58.67] | Closer to you (x3) |
[03:08.53] | |
[03:08.75] | I’ll get through |
[03:10.67] | Oh baby I’ll get through |
[03:14.36] | Closer to you |
