The Closer I Get to You (with Donny Hathaway) - Roberta Flack, 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
