Time wasn't on our side
Our lives pulls us away
And I face the lonley night
Love put us to the test
We were touching less and less
In a world of emptiness
Oh is the answer here
Right here in your arms
Baby hold me near and
Keep our love from harm
Chorus:
This close
We've never been this close before
We almost walked away
This close
We've never been this close, I pray
That every step I take
Gets closer to you
That's when there's time and distance
Something gets through
Till we're this close
We've never been this close
I waited by the phone
The candles burned for you
But you never did come home
The night ain't your closest friend
In a cold and empty bed
With the words we left unsaid
Oh I know the answer's here
Right here in my arms
Baby never fear
My love will keep you warm
(Chorus)
I held my breath for you
Nevertheless I knew inside
I'd be with you
Maybe it was pride
I've heard in time love grows
But I never dreamed we'd be
This close
(Chorus)
I've never been
This close to you
