Close To Me

It's not the first time
That I've been in love
But I've never been in love like this before
It's not the first time
That I've been kissed
But I've never been kissed like this before
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for
That's you baby
It's like the first time
That you called my name
And you said I was the only one
How did I feel
Well I felt so high
That my head was poking out above the sky
Taking about you baby
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for
Hey you found me at a time when
I wasn't really even looking
I wasn't searching for someone to be there
To help me make it through the day
Now we meet at a time
When we're both feeling really peaceful
We've got something special
Something that nothing and no one can take away
Never had a dream come true
Never planned what I would do
Not like before when I was scared
And going out of my mind
That I'd be left for somebody else
It's not the first time
It's not the first time
But this is the last time
That I've been in love
Cause love ties us tightly
Never known love like this
It's here that we wanna be
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
What I'm looking for
Never had a dream come true
'Till I had you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
I can feel you close to me
And I've finally found what I'm looking for
