| Closer… so close baby
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| There we were, tenth grade in the hallways
|
| I must admit you were the finest thing in all ways
|
| Every day I used to walk you to class, do you remember that?
|
| We used to make each other laugh and had each others back
|
| We had the same birthdays and shared the same dreams
|
| You used to love when I treated you for ice cream
|
| Saturdays, we would meet up at the movies
|
| It was you, your little sister, and your home girl Lucy
|
| I used to trip when you would always be with me
|
| Cause your mom would get mad when I would send you home with hickies
|
| And if she ever caught me around the house
|
| You’d be grounded for a month without a phone to call out
|
| Now, thats okay, we would meet up at the benches
|
| See it was all good when I didn’t have detention
|
| And if I didn’t mention we were friends from the start
|
| There was nothing in the way that ever keep us apart
|
| Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)
|
| You’re still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you're on my mind girl) |
| The memory of you still shines
|
| I wont forget the day when you went off to college
|
| You had big dreams and you were out to seek the knowledge
|
| I had a record deal, we started doing shows
|
| And you wouldn’t even trip when girls would pull on my clothes
|
| We saved our money and bought a house up out the neighborhood
|
| And now we’re happy here together and it’s all good
|
| Inbetween the sheets covered up real close
|
| And making love is what you love doing real most
|
| You said you wanted one kid, I said I wanted two
|
| A boy and girl, and that would equal me and you
|
| Sharing dreams while caught up in this moonlight
|
| I never argued and never once caused a fight
|
| Respect was the main key to our relation
|
| Going on trips and spending three week vacations
|
| We lived it up like real lovers were supposed to do
|
| Now come here lady, I wanna get close to you
|
| Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)
|
| You’re still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you're on my mind girl) |
| The memory of you still shines
|
| It’s been a long twenty years now and we got plenty more
|
| And ain’t no telling what the future has for us in store
|
| A couple more kids or maybe even grandchildren
|
| See little ODM’s growing up making millions
|
| Making us proud while our name will live on forever
|
| Same club, one mind, it’ll come together
|
| Remaining strong, as strong as our familia
|
| Mi amor, mi corazon, y mi vida
|
| After all these years and after all these tears
|
| The memory of you still shines
|
| After all these years and after all these tears
|
| The memory of you still shines |
