The Closer I Get to You (with Donny Hathaway)

The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
Lying here next to you
Time just seems to fly
Needing you more and more
Let’s give love a try
Oh
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven’s there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With the hearts of love, they find true love
In a special way
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving me all you got
Your love has captured me
Over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
And all the while inside I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By giving you all I got
Your love has captured me
The closer I get to you
The feeling comes over me
Me too
Pulling closer, sweet as the gravity
The closer I get to you
