Lyrics
She's As Close As I Can Get To Loving You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Her hair should be a little darker and her eyes should be a deeper blue
She's not perfect but I'm happy I found her
Cause she's as close as I can get to loving you
She doesn't know she's being used and it would break her heart in two
If she knew that she was playing the part I planned for you
I should be ashamed to love her the way that I do
But she's as close as I can get to loving you
[ piano ]
You'd've proved of the way that she dresses
From her ear-rings to the style of her shoes
I conquer everything that I remember and she's as close as I can get to loving you
She doesn't know...
