The closer you are
The brighter the stars in the sky
And, darling
I realize
That you're the one in my life
Oh oh
My heart skips a beat
Every time
You and I meet
My life, my love, my dear
I can't defeat
This yearning deep in my heart
To have only you
When I first saw you
I did adore you
And all your loving ways
But then you went away
But now you're back to stay
And my love for you grows stronger every
Day-ahhh way-ahhh way
The closer you are
The brigher the flames in my heart
And, darling
We'll never part
We'll always be in love
