The Closer I Get To You Lyrics - A Donny Hathaway Collection - Donny Hathaway

The closer I get to you 

The more you make me see 

By giving me all you got 

Your love has captured me 

Over and over again 

I tried 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 

Lying here next to you 

Time just seems to fly 

Needing you more and more 

Lets give love a try (oh, oh, oh) 

Sweeter than sweeter love grows 

And heaven's there for those 

Who fool the tricks of time 

With the hearts of love they find true love 

In a special way 

The closer I get to you 

The more you make me see 

By giving me all you got 

Your love has captured me 

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 

The closer I get to you 

The more you make me see 

By giving you all I got 

Your love has captured me 

The closer I get to you 

The feeling comes over me (me too) 

Pulling closer, sweet as the gravity 

(The closer I get) to you
