Well closer than the knob is to the door Closer than the rug is to the floor Closer than the green grass is to the dew That’s how close I want to be to you Closer than the tree is to the ground Closer than an echo to the sound Closer than the sky is to the blue That’s how close I want to be to you Every since I held your hand Seen your pretty smile I knew life without you Would never be worth while Closer than the sea is to the shore Closer than the three is to the four Closer than the foot is to the shoe That’s how close I want to be to you Closer than the carport to the car Closer than heaven is to the stars Closer than the green grass is to the dew That’s how close I want to be to you That’s how close I want to be to you
