For my wife.

Closer to you As life would have it I met you by chance Never thought you would give me a second glance You even tried hiding from me, like you always do There's nothing I wouldn't do to get closer to you How can it be that you are standing next to me? when it's plain for all to see you're way out of my league God answered my prayers, you came right out of the blue Now there's nothing I wouldn't do, to get closer to you Chorus Closer to you is... where I want to be me loving you for all eternity Being beside you sets my soul free Closer to you is...where I want to be Suddenly my life started to make much more sense We were finally together, in the present tense The impossible is happening, but I know that it's true Now there's nothing I wouldn't do to get closer to you I showed you my love, gave you my true devotion You started realizing, it was a valuable emotion Your heart finally melted and you said to me I do Now there's nothing I wouldn't do, to get closer to you Chorus I know that I've been blessed, wouldn't take that for granted How our love has grown, all my fears have been supplanted Many years have passed, they've been more than just a few Now I'll spend eternity and forever, getting closer to you Chorus repeat fade John Derek Hamilton April 12, 2016
