The closer I get to you 
The more you'll make me see 
Like giving me all you've got 
Your love has captured me 

Over and over again 
I'll 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 

Lying here next to you 
Time just seems to fly 
Needing you more and more 
Let's give love a try 

Sweeter than sweeter love grows 
And heaven's there for those 
Who fool the tricks of time 
With the hearts in love you find 
True love 
In a special way 

The closer I get to you 
The more you'll make me see 
By giving me all you've got 
Your love has captured me 

Over and over again 
I'll 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'll make me see 
By giving you all I've got 
Your love has captured me
