The Closer That You Get
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.
When you follow your dreams
You turn to find the light has faded
You wonder what it was you were reaching for
How quickly you have lost your way
It's always when you think you've got it made
You take one step after the other
At times you may not know which way to go
You open one door just to find another
Someday you will begin-begin to know
They told you, they told you
You didn't listen to a word they said
It takes so long to remember
But then how quickly they forget
The closer that you get
The harder that it seems
You never know what's next
When you're following your dreams
Dreams-find you
When you follow-falling
Dreams-remind you
In tomorrows-calling
(you never know what's next)
You take one step after the other
At times you may not know which way to go
You open one door just to find another
Someday you will begin-begin to know
You never know what's next
you won't ever know what's next
you won't ever know what's next
you won't ever know what's next
(when you follow your dreams)
You never know what's next
You won't ever know what's next
You won't ever know what's next
You won't ever know what's next
(when you follow your dreams)
The closer
The Closer that you get
The harder
You never
You never know what's next
when you follow
The closer
The closer that you get
