I've been known to think too much
Get caught up in planning and choosin'
I've sat down with my head in my hand trying to
Lose the fear of losing
But you can't go back and you're never the same and
Love's left its mark on you
Whether stronger, bitter or better, or wiser it's all up to you
Take one step a little bit closer
Take one step a little bit closer
I woke up yesterday morning I was smillin' I was smillin' wide
I heard wild geese calling
I called back and looked into your steady eyes saying
Take one step a little bit closer
Take one step a little bit closer
I've been known to howl at the moon over 15th street until dawn
Pace the floor when love had slipped and gone
I know now there is no pretending
The love that I'll give in my life isn't ending
And I know that something has changed
I'm back on my feet again
Take one step a little bit closer
Take one step a little bit closer
But you can't go back and you're never the same
And love's left its mark on you
Whether stronger, bitter or better or wiser it's all up to you
Take one step a little bit closer
Take one step a little bit closer
