Roberta Flack — The Closer I Get to You

[Verse 1: Roberta Flack] The closer I get to you The more you make me see By giving me all you've got Your love has captured me [Bridge: Donny Hathaway] Over and over again I try to tell myself that we Could never be more than friends And all the while inside I knew it was real The way you make me feel [Verse 2: Roberta Flack] Lying here next to you Time just seems to fly Needing you more and more Let's give love a try [Bridge: Donny Hathaway] Oh, oh, sweeter than sweeter love grows And heaven's there for those Who fool the tricks of time With the hearts in love they find True love In a special way [Verse 3: Roberta Flack] The closer I get to you The more you make me see By giving me all you've got Your love has captured me [Bridge: Donny Hathaway] Over and over again I try to tell myself that we Could never be more than friends And all the while inside I knew it was real The way you make me feel [Verse 4: Roberta Flack] The closer I get to you The more you make me see By giving you all I've got Your love has captured me [Outro: Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway] The closer I get to you A feeling comes over me (Me, too) Falling closer, sweet as the gravity The closer I get to you
