Maybe we'll never be seen together At night on a crowded street I may never reach across your body And kill the light when you're asleep Maybe I'll never watch you dressing Or sound too familiar on the phone But I can touch your hand that's against me And take that moment home That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can see but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you I won't be there when you need holding But I'm sure that he can pull you through But I can sing this song to everybody And pretend it's not about you That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can see but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can see but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you That's as close as I'll get to Yeah that's as close as I'll get to That's as close as I'll get to loving you
