The Closer I Get To You Lyrics

Thanks to Char Star for these lyrics.
Roberta Flack featuring 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
Lets give love a try

Oh...oh...oh...
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And heavens 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
