Close to me

Close to me

 

No, no, my love,

tell me you’re not leaving.

No, my love, please tell me you will stay.

It’s not possible, my love.

Please let me hold you close to me.

To lose your love would still my soul.

Let me hold you close to me.

 

My dreams would turn to cold and lonely

if I didn’t have you near.

There’d be no tenderness, no feelings

only make-believe of every sweet caress

of your golden hair when I held you

close to me.

 

If he wins you, all I have are memories. 

Cold and lonely dreams of yesterday.

Dreams that make me gloomy

and my heart stands still.

Oh, how I fear the ghosts of yesterday.

So, my love, I ask again for you to stay

and let me hold you close to me

 

What in the world can I do without you?

If it\'s not you, no one else will do.

I’ll miss you and my arms will reach for you

‘til the end of this world. So please 

be close to me

 

Even though you may not love me.

I can’t stop myself from loving you.

Don’t break this heart in two.

Time won’t heal my heart 

and words I have won’t bring you back.

There’s only emptiness beyond.

So, please come back 

and please be close to me.
