Close to You

I like the way you smile

It reminds me of a happy child

It makes me feel a little less alone

I miss you when you're gone

The hours they stretch on and on

Like water dripping slowly on a stone

You're such a mystery the way you look at me

With that light that shines from some place I can't go

Did it take you by surprise when you realized

That you loved me though you've never told me so

You know I want to say so many things to you today

But you've got me feeling like I'm flying blind

I think if you were here the words would ring crystal clear

From this heart that's learning how to speak it's mind

You fight for truth with love

You're an iron hand in a velvet glove

It's the kind of strength that makes a gentle man

But I'm a child of the wind

I've been blown away but I'm back again

I just don't know really understand

Sunlight moves across the floor

There's a soft breeze through the open door

A sleepy cat lying on the windowsill

On this lazy afternoon like honey on a silver spoon

The memory of your smile is with me still

Don't tell me that it's wrong to say

I love you with a song

When the words won't come I've seen you do it too

This road winds along one day we'll be gone

But I'll have this song to bring me close to you

I'll have this song to bring me close to you
