[00:01.12]Brett Dennen - Closer To You
[00:08.10]
[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
[03:21.71]
