Below, you will find the lyrics for The Closer I Get To You by Luther Vandross.
Verse 1
The closer I get to you
The more you make me see
By givin' me all you've got
Ooh, yeah, your love has captured me, yeah
Over and over again
I tried to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
When all the while inside I knew it was real
The way you make me feel
Hey
And, ooh
Verse 2
Lyin' here next to you
Time just seems to fly, yeah
Needin' you more and more, more and more
Let's give love a try
I wanna try
Bridge
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
And Heaven's there for those
Who fool the tricks of time
With hearts of love will find
True love
In a special way, way way
To you, baby
The more you make me see
By givin' me what you've got, yeah
Your love captured me
Ooh, over and over again
I try to tell myself that we
Could never be more than friends
When all the while inside I knew this was real
Got to be real, the way you make me feel
Postchorus 1
You know, you know, you know
My baby, my baby, my baby
My love, my love, my love, my love
Yeah yeah
Come a little closer
So that we can see into the eyes of love
I wanna see into those eyes of love
Come closer, love
Just a little closer, let me speak to you
I wanna softly tell you somethin'
Here I am, here's my love, I just want you to, yeah
Come closer, love
Come a little closer, let me whisper in your ear
'Cause I wanna tell you somethin'
I wanna whisper in your ear so soft, so come closer, love
Come closer, love
Move on in real close so we can celebrate
The way we feel about each other's lovin'
Wanna tell you words, words of love
Words that'll make you wanna
Come closer, love
