So close as we dance across the floor
So close to the one that I adore
So close in your arms, yet so far from your heart

So close to the lips I long to kiss
So close, tell me why do you resist?
So close in your arms yet so far from your heart

We're so close to the real sensation
But so far it's only been conversation
Now, if you love me let it show
But I-I-I-I-I-I-I, I've gotta know, I just got to know
Because I'm

Too close to the chance I'd love to take
Too close to the vows I'd love to make
Too close in your arms to be so far from your heart
So close
