It's just me and you and the man in the moon shinin' down A blanket of stars up above and a quilt on the ground I've waited so long to get you all alone in the dark I just want to hold you till I feel the beat of your heart I wanna get closer closer Closer than moonlight that your body's wrapped in tonight yeah Closer to heaven than I've ever been in my life Before the night's over I wanna get closer My two aching arms have been longing to hold you this way These lips have been praying that I'd find the right words to say I don't want to own you or try to control how you feel I want you to need me believe me this feeling is real I wanna get closer closer... [ guitar ] Oh closer than moonlight... Before the night's over I wanna get closer
